COMPOSER, 작곡가 이동렬


"Alluring, sparkling, thoughtful, and carefully crafted"
“깊은 생각과 장인 정신으로 빚어진, 매혹적이며 반짝이는 음악”
– Augusta Read Thomas 

"Positively apocalyptic"
“압도적으로 묵시론적인”

– Chicago Classical Review

"Sounding like dense reefs of exotic corals"
“얽히고 설킨 이국적 산호초 같은 사운드”
– The Strad


I am a composer who seeks to write music that is both bodily and spiritual, intuitive and structured.
I seek to reconcile and sublimate these tensions not through stylistic eclecticism, but through clarity of expression and depth of process.
