HUMANS

Rapidly increasing this pollution of stupidity 
and an unbridled crowd of do not think ability 
castration of the minds pervades us all, 
the mistakes that cost our time in the end will swallow us whole

Our knowledge made us cynical 
Our cleverness, hard and unkind
We think too much and feel to little  (Charlie Chaplin)

We lost our own humanity
We will destroy our destiny

AJDE!!!

That gradual and certain extinction of empathy
it introduces us all to fucking apathy
Hypocrisy at every corner now reflects humanity
and in the end we solve the guilt with justified felony

We lost our own humanity
We will destroy our destiny

Depression, Anger, Sadness and Rage 
we  consciously destroying everything!

I Aint Living In The Past

I wrote this piece in memory of a dear life-long friend who passed away in April 2020 after a long battle with ALS. The title is from Walt Whitman's poem of the same name which he wrote after the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. It is for a large string orchestra.

When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd

Music by Michael Wonyoung Choi
Score Recorded Live at Synchron Stage, Vienna, Austria
Recording Session organized by Hollywood Music Workshop 2018

"Celles et Ceux des Cimes et Cieux" is a form of a trailer for a fantasy animation. 
An astray, young boy from the village of Giant Tree meets two unlikely companions who will help him to go back home. They go through many dangers and wonders together. Would they able to find a way to the Village of Giant Tree? Perhaps, there will be another great, and heroic tale to come.

With an approval by Gwenn Germain, the animator of the "Celles et Ceux des Cimes et Cieux," the rescoring the animation project was one of the exciting projects that I have done so far.

Also, the Hollywood Music Workshop provided the amazing opportunity to record this project. The work was recorded in the Synchron Stage, one of the world-class studios for the scoring, along with a team of Hollywood experts and Vienna Musicians, the entire session was a success.

Finally, my deep gratitude to Mr. Germain for his permission, and the entire faculty of Hollywood Music Workshop and the Synchron Stage who supported and led the recording session successfully.

Celles et Ceux des Cimes et Cieux (Rescore)

The world is very serious
Everything lies in ashes
People cry, they miss their old world
People cry, they miss their old world
Children cannot go to school
Everything is toxic
People cry, they miss their old world
People cry, they miss their old world
You look at the street
But you see only dirt
You see the faces of the people
But see only masks
People cry, they miss their old world
People cry, they miss their old world

MOVEMENTS

III. Birds Appearing in a Dream (Text by Michael Collier)
IV. Insomnia (Text by Dana Gioia)
V. Flying at Night (Text by Ted Kooser)

PROGRAM NOTE
Night Songs is a song cycle consisting of settings of poems by different poets that reflect on various aspects of nighttime. The cycle is structured as a somewhat linear timeline, as if the songs are meditations by a single individual.

The cycle begins with a setting of City Dusk by F. Scott Fitzgerald, is a nostalgic exploration of the memories someone might have as he or she sits in the park at dusk. This person is in the park as the lights go down, and begins to feel sad, but remembers a time when this place wasn’t dark and lonely, but filled with lights, music, and people. He also remembers one specific person, a woman with blonde hair who loved to dance, who in this case, I interpreted as my wife Victoria. The second song, Lullaby, is a setting of the poem of the same name by W. H. Auden, and is a constructed as a love song sung to someone who is sleeping, and is about the inevitability of death, and looking after someone you love. In the third song, a setting of Birds Appearing in a Dream by Michael Collier, I use bird-like motivic patterns to provide structure for the colorful, figurative descriptions throughout Collier's text. The fourth song is a setting of Insomnia by Dana Gioia. In this poem, the narrator is full of regret, and finally realizes the value of people over possessions. The final song, a setting of Flying at Night by Ted Kooser, is a poem that is all at once about what the title suggests, but also about how so much of what we experience is interconnected and tied together by light.

Night Songs was commissioned by David Neal and made possible, in part, with funding from The Community Arts Partnership of Tompkins County.

Night Songs - V. Flying at Night (Text by Ted Kooser)

Another acoustic track about teenage folly, loss of innocence and peer pressure

LYRICS:

When we were young we felt so strong
The songs we sung, the words were wrong

Tell us a story of your broken hearts
When the water turns black and the ocean parts
Follow your leader on up to the park
And we can all stand by as your eyes go dark

When you were young you grazed your knee
You couldn’t tell, they couldn’t see

Eyes Go Dark
