In some languages, the words for ‘soil’, ‘ground’, and ‘earth’
are all the same. The fact that soil makes land and that makes
earth can sometimes feel strange. In Korean, it is also called
‘soil’, which in its dictionary definition means ‘a substance that
can provide nutrients to plants and help them grow’. In
literature, it is also used to mean ‘something that serves as a
foundation or provides an atmosphere for something’. The fact
that the word ‘base’ corresponds to the English word ‘ground’
shows that ‘soil’, ‘base’, and ‘ground’ are interestingly
connected. This song concretely explains the various abstract
meanings mentioned above. Soil creates sound. Soils from
various lands have different masses and stimulate electric
sensors to create electronic sounds. Thoroughly controlled data
and elaborate performances allow the soil to fully express its
meaning in the music.
