Tacto: The Departure is a sound work/music album by wellsgoodness (Inwoo Jung) corresponding to the Interactive LARP performance by Paula Pedraza which carries the same name and was originally drafted between 2021 and 2022. The project thematizes the situation of upcoming death and brings attention to the act of palliative care.
The album consists of 8 separate tracks which create a somewhat liminal almost ghostly atmosphere that manages to capture the temporal quality of end-of-life situatedness in sound. Inwoo Jung uses sampling, sound collaging and audio-fx processing techniques to achieve a clearly plunderphonic aesthetic which seems less concerned with recognizability than with treating audio as a material foundation in order to explore the vast ontological spectrum of human existence in between being, becoming, leaving and returning.
