Chopin Nocturne Op.27-2 in D-flat Major

Dovetail from Night Music by John Liberatore

The title Hueco Mundo (2023) represents the predictable future that only devastated world left beyond our time, without any material, mental wealth exist. It's unpredictable how constant climate change reverses our routine and life on our time. Probably this is an irreversible point that a lot of casualties happen through nature catastrophes. The piece for the trio is merely a fragment of a person who observing the future that cannot resist anymore with close to feelingless, nothingness. - Youshin Gim

Hueco Mundo by Youshin Gim

I notice climate change firsthand when I see unusual weather events, such as rainier summers or colder winters. It's been over 100 years since Arrhenius first hypothesized global warming, and the average global temperature has risen by nearly 1.5 C since then. Can the weather I experienced in ordinary years be called natural? Sometimes I've heard that my music is unnaturally flowing. This can be related to musical devices or developmental methods, such as transition, repetition, variation, and recapitulation, or it can be related to something outside of music, such as narrative or story. What does naturalness mean in contemporary music, and where can we find its criteria? Or has contemporary music already become non-linear and non-narrative? - Seokmin Mun

Steps (Dangye) outlines my interactions with the Korean language as someone who a)is not a native Korean speaker, b) watches a lot of K-Dramas, listeners to a lot of K-Pop, and watches pansori on YouTuve with English subtitles, c) has tried many times and failed many times to learn the Korean language through podcasts, books, and the language app Duolingo. In the Korean language, I hear deep expressivity, melodic nuances, fragility, tenderness, and pointed consonants with grit! - Emily Koh
