This master’s dissertation accompanies my master’s project. It deals with how I worked in translating the experience of Japanese gardens through sound installation. The original research question was to discover how translating the traditional elements of Japanese gardens into sonic objects can create an artistic work while keeping the authentic experience. This dissertation begins with a description of why I initially chose to focus on the theme of Japanese gardens in the autumn of 2020, followed by research into their history and an explanation of the gardens' essential components. Later I will describe the research trip I conducted in January 2022, supported by the Sibelius Academy Foundation. The objective here is to explain the discoveries of my visits to Japanese gardens through illustrated documentation. This research trip proved to be meaningful to the identity of the final work and to shape my artistic vision. In the following section, I review significant previous artworks concerning Japanese gardens. The final piece is then introduced with video, pictures, and sound files, as well as an explanation of how I translated the experience into a sound installation and what method I utilised to do so. I also address the beneficial aspects of the project's development and what could be improved. The concluding part outlines what I discovered about the subject I have spent around two and a half years researching, how I profited from completing this project, and how I could utilise this experience in future projects. I believe this dissertation can serve as a reference for future work relating to Japanese gardens and translating the experience using musical means. This dissertation also provides insight into my creative work and possible approach to the subject.
