Mingkoo works across spatial audio, sound installation and live performance, and gathers all of it under a single idea he calls Aural Presence. ‘Door Talk’ is the lead track from ‘Threshold Studies’, an EP collecting two works premiered at international computer music festivals in 2024, and his first release since the 2020 EP ‘SIREN’.

The source material is exactly what the title says it is. A door opening and closing, recorded and then put through repetition and modulation until it stops reading as a door and starts marking out a spectrum between collision and connection. Across the two tracks, sound behaves as pressure, as transmission, as impact and as the residue of memory.

A door opening and closing, repeated and modulated until it maps the distance between collision and connection.

The artwork carries the same idea. Light spills through a half-open door and glitch treatment blurs the edge where the two sides meet, an image for the unstable space between the outside world and the mind that the EP walks the listener through.

This is music for listeners who follow modular synthesis and spatial audio, and who are content to let a texture develop on its own terms. It arrives through Anotier, composed, arranged, mixed and mastered by Mingkoo alone. Put it on with headphones and give the room its due.
