THREADSUNS
by Paul Celan (trans. Pierre Joris)

Above the gray black wastes.
A tree-
high thought
grasps the light-tone: there are
still songs to sing beyond
mankind.

Threadsuns for String Quartet (I mvmt)

Ha-Yang Kim creates new music as a composer and cellist, regularly collaborating with ensembles and artists in festivals and performance venues throughout the world.  Drawing from a breadth of western classical music, American experimentalism, rock, electronic, noise, avant-improv, to non-western sources, Kim's music is inspired by acoustic phenomena, ritual ceremonial processes, and characterized by an organic visceral lyricism of sound influenced by the East Asian sense of space and emptiness.  Ms. Kim developed a unique signature language of extended string techniques and has also composed music for film, theatre and multi-media.  Performances throughout the US, Europe, Asia, Russia, Turkey, Morocco, Bali, Cuba, Canada.  Released 2 discs of her compositions, "Ama" and "Threadsuns", on Tzadik.
