The Power of Narrative Built Through Games, Films, and Music

The session “The Power of Narrative Built Through Games, Films, and Music” brings together Akira Yamaoka, composer of Silent Hill, and Kim Tae-sung, music director of The Priests and Exhuma, moderated by PD Choi Sung-woon.

Together, they explore how music constructs narrative and designs emotion across different mediums.

Rather than evoking emotion directly, the two masters discuss their approach to creating “spaces” that draw audiences and players into the work. 

They will share their methods of experimenting with nontraditional soundscapes—including noise, ambience, and traditional melodies—and using silence strategically to heighten fear and tension.

The session also delves into their collaborative process with directors, on-site fieldwork such as temple visits and sound collection, and how they preserve musical vision within the constraints of production schedules and technical limitations.
