Eunho Chang: Kaleidoscope

Divertimento Ensemble; Gorli, Sandro; Renggli, Félix; Ensemble TaCTus; Arditti Quartet; Ensemble Contrechamps; Charette, Gregory

Eunho Chang’s music is, as the composer himself asserts, a record of his life, a musical diary, souvenirs recorded in sound. The artist has a characteristic style, exhibiting an original approach to the musical material, representing an Asian influence several times not only in formal and ideological aspects, but also in spiritual ones: in the sense of time, or in the emotional course of his work. The artist describes his musical approach with the following words: “My music, simply put, is to express the sound of nature in a combination of various tones. These sounds instantly mix harmoniously and appear as complex second dimensional reverberations of abstract sounds. This is a holistic description of my music. This album, containing four works written between 2011 and 2015, reflects the artist’s current attitude. With great expertise, the composer creates new, technically advanced music, with deep Korean roots. The artist is also able to work with the best new music ensembles, for whom the present works have been created. Here we have a synergy between Asian spirituality and the executive accuracy and virtuosity of European ensembles.
