Abstract

Soundscapes have the potential to help people experience the historical background and cultural traditions by the scenery of a local area and to be used as a cultural and tourism resource. This concept was first explained in detail by M. Schafer and has been developed as a new way of experiencing landscapes using various senses. This research studied the soundscape of Kyodong Island, the so-called "Island of Peace" and designed new cultural acoustic content for education and tourism. Kyodong Island is located right below the Northern Limit Line and the whole island is in the Civilian Controlled Area. The political and economic status of the island has been changed dynamically by the Korean War and the division of the country. These days, the island needs to realize the vision of the "Island of Peace" in a more creative way using local resources, including its "cold war landscape" and the natural scenery of the region. This research applied the concept of a soundscape to document the island, and to reproduce it in an artistic way. A workshop was conducted to learn concepts and techniques of soundscapes with a sound artist. Listening, recording, conducting interviews, and literature research was used to study the soundscape of the island. After that, this research reconstructed the soundscape of the island through a soundscape composition. The main theme of the composition story was the "Hope and Wish for the Harmony and Peace" to show the vision of the "Island of Peace". The initial sub-theme for the introduction part was "First Encounter with Kyodong Island" arranging the representative soundscape, which could be the first impression of the region. The second sub-theme was "War and Tension" using several soundscapes as a metaphor for the tragedy of the Korean War. The third sub-theme was "Everyday Life of Kyodong Island" which described the energy of the present day, after the wounds of the war have healed. The final sub-theme was "Harmony and Peace" using traditional music and keynote sounds of the region as a reminder of the peaceful past, before the war. The recording files were documented as two types of sound maps. One was a two-dimensional map to show the soundscapes from one point of view, and the other used the online application called "Sound Around You". The final artwork was displayed at an exhibition and uploaded on YouTube to be shared publicly. Through this project, we discovered the potential of soundscapes as a medium to preserve the history and local identity, as well as presenting a new vision. The artwork will be exhibited at historically and culturally meaningful places on the Island to utilize the underused places as local tourist attractions and educational resources.

본 연구는 사운드스케이프를 통해 시각적 풍경 이면에 축적되어 있는 지역의 역사적 배경과 문화적 전통을 경험할 수 있으며, 사운드스케이프를 문화 관광자원으로 활용할 수 있는 가능성에 주목하였다. 사운드스케이프는 M. Schafer가 비판적, 미적 관찰 대상이 되는 소리 환경을 설명하기 위해 도입한 개념으로 시각뿐만 아니라, 다양한 감각을 사용함으로써 경관을 새롭게 경험할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다. 본 연구는 이러한 이론적 배경을 바탕으로, '평화의 섬'을 비전으로 하고 있는 DMZ 접경지역의 교동도에서 사운드스케이프를 조사, 분석한 후, 지역주민 교육과 방문객 경험을 위한 새로운 문화콘텐츠로 재탄생시키고자 하였다. 교동도는 DMZ 접경지역이자 섬 전체가 민간인 통제구역으로, 한국전쟁과 분단으로 인해 역사적으로 격변을 겪었으며, 최근에는 지역활성화를 위한 민관의 다양한 사업들이 추진되고 있는 지역이다. 특히 한강하구중립수역에 위치한 지리적 특성을 문화적으로 해석하여 '평화의 섬'으로서 새롭게 장소마케팅이 되고 있다. 교동도의 사운드스케이프 조사를 위해 먼저 사운드아티스트와 함께 사운드스케이프의 개념과 기술에 대한 워크샵을 실시하였으며, 이어 관찰조사, 청취조사, 문헌조사를 진행하였다. 녹음결과물은 Schafer의 사운드스케이프 개념에 맞추어 기조음, 신호음, 표식음으로 구분하여 분석하고 사운드맵으로 기록하였으며, 교동도의 지역특성과 비전을 반영하여 사운드스케이프 작곡의 방식으로 재구성하는 스튜디오 작업을 진행하였다. 최종결과물은 '화합과 평화에 대한 희망과 염원'이라는 전체 주제를 바탕으로 '교동도와의 만남', '전쟁과 긴장', '교동도의 일상', '화합과 평화를 찾아서'로 세부 주제를 구성하였고, 전시와 YouTube를 통해 공유하였다. 이를 통해 교동도의 역사 및 지역정체성을 보존하고, 새로운 미래비전을 제시하는 매체로서 사운드스케이프의 가능성을 확인하였다. 본 연구결과물을 교동도에서 역사적, 문화적으로 의미가 있는 기존 장소들을 활용하여 전시함으로써 공간활용을 제고하고, 지역 역사와 문화를 담은 관광자원뿐만 아니라, 교육자원으로 활용할 수 있다는 의의를 가진다.
