AB - Music has always been in the space of human life. Considering space as a basin of music, this study investigates the role of space of daily life in music culture in Gyeongseong, the capital of Colonial Joseon. The city had many spaces that manifest modernist characteristics. Based on a motif of ‘the west’, these spaces was filled with the so-called western music, food, costumes, etiquette, language, etc., which allowed people exotic experience and made them temporarily free from tough life. By using western sounds, hotels and department stores were considered as the zenith of westernization and an exemplar of modernity. It is because acoustic features of the western music signify elegance. In this context, the current study focuses on hotels and department stores to understand how western music settled down in daily life and was familiarized to ears of people in Gyeongseong. Music flowing out from modern buildings provided new auditory experience to the public in Gyeongseong. For people who had been accustomed to sound of Joseon, western music was not annoying any longer and even became familiar with the western sound. Western music that governs our auditory experience is powerful. The fact that, for most of us, western music is regarded as a mother tongue reflects familiarization processes of western music since colonial Joseon
