about

ELSA PARK is a composer based in South Korea. She studied Electronic/Electroacoustic music at the University of Birmingham and studied Jazz Piano at Seoul Institute of the Arts.
Elsa Park's recent music roots in the genre of Ambient/Chill-out/Contemporary designed with a sense of murky gesture in some impressionistic gradation.

Essentially, with her keen interest in mental vulnerability and disorder, her main project is a pursuit to manifest the diverse frames of how individuals experience depressive episodes as a musical format.
By showing uncomfortable emotions that may be passed, ignored or hidden, it is to face with the varied range of inner side in much more nuances and to acknowledge the concept of depression as it is.

‘Desolation ’ is an electronically designed piano piece that delineates a sense of loneliness, building upon the poem Desert by Hortense Vlou . Setting the poem as a conceptual prototype, the piece is established within the idea of translating the words of the poem into sound. Thus, a number-based musical system is applied that reshapes the words I consider as important from the poem into a duodecimal system and binary system for creating harmonic and rhythmic structure each - ‘he, lonely, desert, walk, backwards, track.’ - And put them together as linking words - ‘he + lonely’, ‘lonely + desert’, ‘walk + desert’, ‘walk + backwards’, ‘backwards + track’ and ‘he + tracks’. Then, those sound data from the letters are further designed in piano and keyboard materials. This combination of linking words attempts to form an interesting shape of loneliness that creates sequential motives and developing structures throughout the piece. Based on the number-based musical system, the project is to reinterpret the poem in different angles as well as to deliver the messages that desert of mind that may be lonely, desolated and lost feelings is natural to happen as one of the important parts of our lives, and that also can come differently than what you usually considered before.
