In this work, the musical processes in three different dimension are structured in a multilayered and correlative fashion. The first one is the process from "laughing" the to "crying" and even madness passes this process. The second one is e process from music concrete to computer music, then returns to the original figure. The third and last one is the process from a compulsive feeling (or madness) to a relaxed one supported by the performance of the players. It seems that "laughing" is opposite to "cry ng" However, the composer finds an important meaning and fascination in the very middle point between them and calls such a inconceivable situation "LAUGHCRY", a coinage. The sound materials in this work consist of laughing and weeping voices and sounds extracted from a work by P. Schaeffer. The processing methods of the sound materials are very similar to the methodology of music concrete. This work was composed for a festival to celebrate 50th anniversary of the birth of music concrete wich was commissioned by DAAD.
