Label: Another Timbre

2013年にGiuseppe Ielasi主宰のSenufo Editionsよりソロ音源をリリースした韓国の現代音楽作曲家Kunsu Shimが英Another Timbreに登場！！弦楽の為の4つの室内楽と、友人達が氏の為に書いた6つの小曲を纏めた1962年~2018年までの10作品からなり、演奏はヴァイオリン、ヴィオラ、チェロ編成のLuna String Quartetが担当。音とノイズの境目を行き来する複雑且つ美しい楽曲を探求し続ける人物であり、柔らかく静かなボリュームを主とする進行からは新たな知覚を発見出来ます。







Four chamber works for strings by Korean composer Kunsu Shim, plus six short pieces written for Kunsu by composer friends. Performed by the Luna String Quartet.
Kunsu Shim’s compositions explore the beauty of imperfection and fragility, of simplicity and complexity in natural life, operating at the peripheries of sound and noise. Perception, not purpose, lies at the core of this music. The creation of such sounds is happening in extremely soft and quiet volumes with small changes of character either in a structural or textural form. In his scores Shim asks his musicians to act with tenderness, care and warmth, lightness or gracefulness - thereby evoking the utmost sensitivity and attention in players and listeners alike. Perception is a kind of attentiveness. Attentiveness is concentration. Concentration is - according to Walter Benjamin - the soul’s natural prayer.
