Jiwon Sim is a Korean composer based in Hamburg.

Her work begins with an exploration of the conditions under which sound is produced. 
She observes vibration and resonance inside instruments, as well as signals and energy flows within electronic systems, treating these physical processes as compositional material.

Working across instrumental, electroacoustic, and multimedia contexts, she creates structures in which sound can emerge, shift, and interact.

Recently, she has been expanding this approach into ensemble and performative settings, exploring the relationships between electronics, space, light, and performers movements.

Jiwon completed her studies in Neue Kompositiontechniken at the Musik Hochchule Nusik und Theater in Hamburg, where she worked under the mentorship of Prof. Helmut W. Erdmann and Xiao Fu.

From October 2026, she will begin her master’s studeis at the Mozarteum Universitiy Salzburg, studying with Prof. Laure. M. Hiendl.
