Liner notes

감각-감정-기억의 삼각 연결 잊은 노래 한 곡이, 낯선 공간에서의 갑작스런 익숙한 향기가 경계를 무너뜨리고 시간의 문을 통째로 열어버릴 때가 있습니다. 이것은 감각에 의해 속수무책으로 소환되는 기억과 감정에 대한 장면입니다. 비자발적 기억의 순간, 왜곡과 성장 혹은 흉터짐의 이전에 발발했던 그 원형을 따라가 보는 것입니다. 어떤 사족도 남기지 않은 채, 분석과 판단은 내려 놓고 잊어 버린 감각과 감정을 다시 체험하고 싶은 갈망을 노래하며 감각을 증거로 감정을 찾아냅니다. 이 노래는 당신의 마들렌이 될 수 있을까요?

The Sensory-Emotional-Mnemonic Triangle A forgotten song, a familiar scent in a strange place—sometimes, that is all it takes to dissolve the walls of time and swing a door to the past wide open. This song captures that scene: a moment of memory and emotion, summoned by the senses and leaving us helpless to resist. It is a journey back to a memory's archetype—to how it first erupted into being, before it was reshaped by distortion, growth, or the scarring of time. "With no footnote, nothing more," the song sets aside all analysis and judgment. It sings of the yearning to simply re-experience a forgotten feeling, using sensation as the only evidence to locate the emotion it seeks. Could this song be your madeleine?
