작곡가 이돈응의 로봇음악 연구: 드로봇(dRobot)을 중심으로 = A Study on Composer LEE Donoung’s Robot Music: Focusing on dRobot

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study explores the implications of dRobot, the pioneering composition by composer Lee donoung, as it relates to contemporary music in the 21st century within the context of Korean contemporary music history. The author argues that dRobot is not simply a result of the technological trends of the 21st century, but a culmination of Lee’s aesthetic of “human-like electronic music,” which he has pursued for almost 40 years since the 1980s. To support this argument, this paper closely examines Lee Donoung’s musical works that led to the creation of dRobot, as well as the history of robots performing music from the 18th century to the present day. Additionally, the paper delves into the process of creating dRobot, analyzing its representative works and discussing its artistic value in creating technically masterful performances through the subjective use of technology and exquisite craftsmanship.
