Music is a language, but it is not a universal language. The vernacular of Western European classical music is one that I inhabit, but it is not the only that exists. Influences from my Korean heritage, American upbringing, and time spent in Japan combine to form a unique musical style that I use to speak.
My body of work includes small chamber works, pieces for mass choir, electronic and fixed media pieces, and everything in between. Find below the pieces I’d consider representative of my artistic journey thus far.
