Get to Know...Jee Seo

Picture
Korean Composer Jee Seo was a finalist in this year’s solo flute category for On Fever. Jee is originally from Seoul, South Korea but currently resides in New York City.  Jee shared with us a fascinating mixed media collaboration from the 2017 DangDangDang Festival which featured a live performance of On Fever (flutist Moe Yamashita) combined with media and mime. The performance occurred in an abandoned coal mine! It’s a really fascinating concept and Moe Yamashita’s performance in incredible! A mythical narrative collaboration, On Fever is about the extreme contrast of hot (fever, passion, fire) and cold (flute instrument, cave), which represents Jee or his music. Flute is an oldest instrument vs. cave is an archetype space. He is always seeking to write music with a new interpretation of the origin. 

Q&A with Jee…
Who is your favorite "new music" composer and why?
György Kurtág (1926- ). I believe that he is most sincere composer in this era.
 
Describe your musical background and current activities.
Fortunately, I was able to have various musical experiences from an early age under the influence of my parents. I am currently based in NYC and concentrating on my composition now and also working in collaboration with artists.
 
Do you have any upcoming events that you would like our friends and followers to know about?
My violin duo piece (Four Pieces for Two Violins) is scheduled to be performed in Boston and Siena, Italy at the beginning of next year.
