This is where I'm exploring the no-input mixing board while keeping the acoustic drum at the center.
I'm working on how to expand into electronic sound without losing what makes acoustic drumming immediate and physical. The mixing board creates feedback loops from almost nothing, and I'm trying to find out how my drums can trigger and talk with those unpredictable sounds.
It's early research—building the setup, learning what's possible, figuring out how one person can create dialogue between two very different sound worlds.
i!i!o is a trio exploring the conversation between electronic and acoustic sounds through free improvisation.
Members:
Gideok Moon — Drums
Tobias Rüetschi — No-Input Mixing Desk
Jessie Chen — Voice
Tobias uses a no-input mixing desk, creating sound from feedback loops instead of processing external sources. The three of us improvise together, listening to how the system transforms our sounds and responding in real time. Sometimes we mirror what comes back, sometimes we resist it, searching for musical context in the unpredictability.
Our upcoming project TEUM (틈, December 2026) explores this gap—the Korean word 'teum' means both a physical space and a pause in time. Instead of controlling the technology, we stay in that uncomfortable space and make music with it.
Life and Sound is a duo where two young musicians channel their experiences of living in 21st-century Seoul through improvised music.

Gideok Moon — Drums

We use improvisation to express what we've felt growing up and living in this city—the rhythms, the pressures, the beauty we find in overlooked moments.
Our first project was a performance called Again, Being (다시 있기, 2023), exploring the beauty of simply existing in moments we usually pass by. We recently released our live album Mealworm (2025). We're also working on a project about memories of specific spaces and their sounds, translating them into improvisation.
