Mad Dash Through the Mall on Christmas Eve

This piece is inspired by series of the Korean folk music such as the Chestnut Song (군밤타령), Nyl-lee-lee-ya(늴리리야), and Arirang (아리랑). These songs have been practiced and sang for a long time, bringing people together, relishing a good harvest, and celebrating a harmonious nature and spirit.

However, Korea is now separated into two, communist North Korea, and republic South Korea, divided and victimized by the political and historical reasons, both nations share the pain of separation and broken families. 

However, it is my strong belief that our proud Korean spirit still remains, and it still on-going determination for both nations to be reunited and rejoice the harmony once we shared.

By composing Korean melody with the orchestral palette, it is my sincere hope for all Korean people, to honor the good spirit, cherish the heritage, and spread the goodwill which can influence people all around the world as well.

Los Angeles Film Conducting Intensive (LAFCI) is a workshop to train art of conducting and provide an education and resources to help media composers succeed on the podium. A team of great faculties was there to teach such as Angeles Velez, Conrad Pope, William Ross, Jorge Mester, Emilie Bernstein, and Carl Rydlund, a Hollywood's best professionals who have a long history of film-music production experiences. Each one of them there to train, discipline, influence, and encourage for all of the LAFCI participants.

As a 2019 LAFCI fellow, I was privileged to compose, conduct, and record my personal work at the Eastwood Recording Stage, Burbank, USA. It will remain as one of my memorable experiences, and I would highly recommend this workshop for those who wish to improve their art of conducting and work ethics as a film, media, and game composer.

Roasted Chestnut Carnival

The beat(https://soundcloud.com/shani_ace/github) for this song evolved through 2016-2020 until it got that rock-y vibe I was looking for.

It's a song about resisting oppression when you're feeling paralyzed and powerless against all kinds of authorities.
Be that politicians, police, parents or generally the old generation holding back the young generation when it comes to climate change, the pandemic, discrimination and even people fighting for friggin toiletpaper!

Some have pointed out a Linkin Park vibe that I previously wasn't aware of but it makes total sense, they're one of my favourite bands!

Lyrics:

Paralyzed & Powerless

Verse:
			
This goes out to all the people in power					
The “authority” keeping us in a chokehold
The old guard tryna take control
Of the young generation as a whole
To all the overbearing parents and grandparents
You didn’t exactly leave us the best inheritance
The planet’s dying, as are many ill and sick people
But you focus on money not the will of the people
Instead of fostering a sense of community
You divide us with fear and with stupid greed
Get peepz fighting over toilet paper in the store
With some support/ we could do so much more
Instead of riding the waves like a Jetski
You keep us down, you don’t want us to get free
I can’t deny, how much it affects me
I feel paralyzed, ‘cause you won’t let me:

Hook (2x):

Feel/ I belong									
Think/ nothing’s wrong
Know/ that I’m strong
Live / how I want
Try/ to succeed
Aim/ For my shot
Get / what I need
Give/ all I got

Bridge:

All the times I wanted something from you					
But never got anything
All the times I needed something from you
You weren’t there to help me, nooo
All the times I wanted something from you					
I never got anything, anything
All the times I wanted something from you
I just got shit

Verse:

You won’t give me what I want, what I need					
Sometimes I’d just want you to see/ How you’re endlessly
... hampering/ chances of others
And how you’re pretending/ to stand above others
Instead of lending/ a hand you just smother
Anyone who needs cover/ you abandon your brothers 
Which is evidently/ not very friendly
But I’m not expecting you to understand me
Cause you and I, we live in different worlds
You got the power to help/ I got neither power nor help
You won’t let me fullfil my potential 
But tell me everything I do is inconsequential
I could do so much good, be so much more
But now I can’t even pick myself up from the floor
Instead of making my own thing like Etsy
I feel powerless, ‘cause you won’t let me:

Hook (2x)

Canto :

All the times I wanted something from you					
You just didn’t care
But every time you needed help from me
I was there, I was thehehere

Paralyzed & Powerless	
Paralyzed & Powerless	
Paralyzed & Powerless	
Paralyzed & Powerless	
I feel Paralyzed & Powerless	
Paralyzed & Powerless
I feel Paralyzed & Powerless	
Paralyzed & Powerless

Paralyzed & Powerless
I feel Paralyzed & Powerless	
Powerless
Powerless
I feel Paralyzed & Powerless	
Paralyzed, so paralyzed

Fun little Rockabilly Party song (C) 2021
It based around adolescent humor related to gas! Just in case you didn't figure that out. LOL
