- ’The musicians who play my music should be involved, not only intellectually, but as a bodily experience. They have to be involved as a whole human being,’ says Unsuk Chin.
In this video portrait the Festival Composer relates how she was first admitted into the university composition programme on her first try, why she demands so much of the artists performing her music and how she enjoyed this year’s Bergen International Festival.

The moment where she said that she wants to push musician's limits, we all know. Ligeti taught her well...
She is always my favorite person to work with, not only for artistic, but also for human and interpresonal reasons.
She is spectacularly talented and hard working~and to persevere as a composer, just amazing.
All of these musicians are amazing!
My favourite composer. All melody from chin is so beutiful and sweet. But that's not all. Her works have their own story. It feels like, that i listen some opera. I would like to dare saying, She is mozart in this period
We completely agree with you!
Anyone know what type of paper that is she uses? I'd love to buy some for my own compositions. It's hard to find large format vertical manuscript paper.
Fantástica compositora.
전예은씨가 누구의 영향을 받았나 했더니 진은숙 선생님의 사운드와 상당히 기조가 흡사하네요
Is musical composition one of the most intellectually demanding activities that a human can engage in?
She took her revenge not being an interpreter by composing impossible ( but so great to hear!) pieces for actual interpreters hahaha. ❤ danke sehr für interview #FestspilleneiBergen
As a composer I'm concerned about the ever increasing gap between composers and their audience. As I see it the reason for this is: 1 the music is often difficult to listen to but also, 2 frequently extremely difficult to perform. It seems so much modern music is composed for elite performers and an "elite" audience. For me the real challenge as a composer today is to write music that amateurs/semi professionals - be it singers, instrumentalists, can actually play and feel engaged with and audiences have a chance of understanding. It's not about writing down but it is about keeping your audience in mind. Music is a language and if we try too hard to re-invent it we'll just end up, to quote Benjamin Britten, "making funny noises".
You might be right, but you have to understand that she's commissioned to write a work like this for a festival specialized in contemporary music (so the musicians have no problem with works like this) and the audience that goes there obviously knows and understands this.
I guess it's elitist, yes, but when you write for a festival like that, you don't write for an 'average' audience.
My favorite modern composer
shes a treasure 😭
그냥 performance artists 지 뮤지션은 아니네요. 귀따가워
Moltes gràcies per compartir.

Like so many composers of her generation, she tried to write music that was almost unplayable. They all tried to excel in difficulties. It was as if there was a competition to see who could write the most complex compositions, forgetting the capabilities of the average concert audience. They got lost in the music of the head, forgetting that music must touch the heart.
Stephen, what you wrote also applies to Jackson Pollock's paintings too.
Her sheng concerto very much touches my heart, Steven. Speak for yourself!
@@shitfuckmcgee8611 I speak only for myself. No one put me in charge of the universe.
But she clearly doesn't write for an average concert audience. She gets commissioned by a very famous and specialized contemporary classical music festival to write a piece for their musicians. And the audience that goes there, clearly has a preconceived enthusiasm about modern music. So obviously she's going to write music that's more difficult than for an 'average' audience, because she doesn't write for that occasion.
It's no excuse and I understand your point, but you have to keep that in mind with many of these contemporary classical composers.
@@FreakieFan All this reminds us to question the true purpose of music.
Can she even tell when there is a wrong note played in her own music? Asking for a friend.
아 그런데 발음이 너무 정직하셔서 뭔가 여러 감정들이 오고 가네요
근데 구사하시는 영어는 상당한 수준이신,..
발음 억양 신경쓰는건 전형적 한국식 접근. 미국 각종 요직에 인도계 요직이 앉아있는 걸 보면됨. (인도억양은 정직이 아닌 못알아 들을수준..) 심지어 진은숙 작곡가님은 지금 독어 액센트도 영어에 있으요 ㅎㅎ
Vous semblez très sympathique, mais le nouveau "pompierisme" date de presque un siècle. Il est temps de revenir à plus de transparence.
J'ai connu comme compositeur cet academisme qui m' a éloigné de la beauté.
서울시향에서 정명훈과 짜고서 많은 돈 헤쳐먹은 고약한 여자. 합리적으로 교향악단을 운영하려던 서울시향 대표를 뒤에서 음해하려고 별 짓 다하더니 결국 꼬리가 잡혔네. 정명훈이나 진은숙이나 한국서양음악사에 흑역사로 길이 기억될 것이다. 죽은 당신의 스승 리게티가 당신을 보고뭐라할까? 오선지에 음표 그리기 전에 온전한 인간이 되라고 하지 않을까?
뭐, 인격적으로 볼 때는 실격 수준까지도 갈 수도 있는 것 같습니다. 하지만 저는 진은숙 작곡가를 처음 알게 되었을 때가 현대음악에서 그나마 합리적이고 논리적인 음악을 만들어내었고, 그 업적을 기려 권위있는 상도 받았습니다. 저도 음악과의 대표를 맡고 있는 부분에서, 이 사태의 심각성을 보며 성찰해보고 개선하여야 한다고 생각합니다. 네, 저는 진은숙 씨의 음악은 좋아하지만 진은숙 씨의 그 자체는 좋아하지 않네요. 내면과 외면이 일치하는 그런 인간이 먼저 되기를 바라며, 글 마칩니다.
필요없습니다. 온전한 인간이 되기 이전에, 오선지에 완벽한 음표를 그리면 됩니다. 제 생각입니다.
무슨 일이 있었나요? 제가 잘 몰라서 궁금하네요.
Yes, technical. Yes, innovative. Yes, academic. Yes, difficult. But is it still music? As a music lover and an instrumentalist for decades,Sorry .. for me, this is completely detached from reality.
Yes, it is music. How do you define music sir/madame?
