I’m not sure how I came across this video, but I’d like to say I’m very glad I did. Your playing is lovely to me, and I love the selection. I have literally no idea what or who this video is for, but it’s very snazzy I think :D
Interesting format, always good to see some daring and artistic freedom in repertoire choice, as well as the approach to multiplicity of artistic mediums. Very fresh and inspiring.
This is difficult to write. I know that you feel a need to connect your musical style with your inner voice. Unfortunately, a 12-tone distribution is receptive to a restricted small number of people. While your approach is not entirely atonal, repeating patterns seem to be a "tonal requirement" for most people listening to new music. Even composers like Aaron Copland recognized this. His "Piano Variations" is a perfect example. He did not intend it to be accessible to a large number of listeners. So, he split up his music into parts of his expression. His most "popular" works are obviously theater. He did not consider that a "failure." I think if you asked him, he would say that he liked to compose "both kinds." Copland was true to himself and put in his 4ths where he wanted them. His "angularity" was maintained. Brahms recognized a need for a more popular style, say with his waltzes and Hungarian Dances. (for the money). His young protégée, Antonin Dvorak, wrote popular pieces (Slavonic Dances) as well. Brahms adored them and encouraged him to write more. So, if I were to be giving you advice, I would suggest a "split personality" for your compositions. Robert Schumann also had a split personality (not necessarily good for his emotional health). But it was a part of him. When you try to communicate, consider communicating in a popular tonal mode, and intersperse that with your own inner voice, even if that is atonal. Above, all, I wish you love, success and blessings. Try to also consider positive and loving, and even funny literature. We need all kinds. Respectfully, Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)

❤ Eunmi this is your heart on the table. Thanks to you and all composers for sharing your art with the world 🧿🙏
Very cool program -- my favorites were the Koh and Cheng pieces. Never seen an ebow used on a piano but it really worked.

Eunmi, you are amazing on all possible levels! Thank you for sharing this with us

Love it, sounds super deranged and abyssally existential as a playstyle.
Idk who you are but you rock
Now you know who I am
I will never EVER fail.
It's never too late to succeed.
