I love music. Now, the creating stuff? it’s all in the works… exploring, experimenting, learning… always, always and always. An open channel for creativity to work its magic.

Astronun D conveys a cosmic message by fusing botanical plants and mechanical sounds. Using plant termin, it converts the sound of plants into cosmic music through bio-feedback, and expresses the connection between nature and humans through space raga music. Her music explores new interactions between plants, humans and technology, and provides sensory and spiritual experiences through sacred botanical rituals and multi-sensory experiences.

Astronun D는 자연주의적인 식물과 기계적인 사운드를 융합하며 우주적인 메세지를 전달한다. 식물 테레민을 사용해 바이오 피드백을 통해 식물의 소리를 우주적인 음악으로 변환하고, 스페이스 라가(space raga) 음악을 통해 기술과 자연과 인간의 연결을 표현한다. 그의 음악은 식물과 인간의 새로운 상호작용을 탐구하며, 성스러운 보태니컬 리추얼과 다감각적 체험을 통해 감각적이고 영적인 경험을 제공한다.
