Da Eun Jung
Biography	Da Eun Jun (*1993) is a corean composer based in Germany. She studied Composition at Kyunghee University in Seoul. The process of writing her first piano solo piece «in harmony» in 2015 marked the beginning of her life as a composer. Afterwards, at the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg she completed her master's degree in Instrumental and Electronic Music Composition with professors Johannes Schöllhorn and Alexander Grebtschenko. Since 2019, after moving to Germany, she has realized projects such as «Composer x Interpreter» with Ensemble Zone Expérimentale Basel, a composition workshop for the 900th Anniversary year of Freiburg with Ensemble Aventure and Sonderkonzert für Wolfgang Rihm with Ensemble Recherche. Also, as a lyric poet, she writes texts of sentiments and of Christian awareness. She currently lives in Karlsruhe, where is taking a Solistenexamen with Prof. Markus Hechtle. ABOUT Da Eun Jun: «un fil sur la paume de la main» Our attempts to resist what has become familiar leap us into the «future» that is not always new, but is unfamiliar or very unknown to us. And indeed, music always makes us jump somewhere - into the dim and distant past or future, or right into the present. But It is not about the times, but about our longing. This piece, too, was born from some longing. Through the sound materials, which are obtained after many adventures, I tried to face the truth that always existed inside me by making quite everyday things unfamiliar. All Sound materials were recorded in my room, and objects I use every day were used in different ways for each sound event. They were a new, unknown world. Like cutting and weaving the threads with one's own hands, this work was done only by cutting, horizontal arraying and intensity adjusting recorded material, which was the important technical limit I self-imposed on this piece. I gave the piece a French title so as not to hide its connection to Satie's piece, which spoke to me a lot. «un fil sur la paume de la main» is dedicated to my father, who gave me a first space of my own, my own childhood room.

ABOUT Da Eun Jun: «un fil sur la paume de la main»

Our attempts to resist what has become familiar leap us into the «future» that is not always new, but is unfamiliar or very unknown to us. And indeed, music always makes us jump somewhere - into the dim and distant past or future, or right into the present.
But It is not about the times, but about our longing.
This piece, too, was born from some longing. Through the sound materials, which are obtained after many adventures, I tried to face the truth that always existed inside me by making quite everyday things unfamiliar. All Sound materials were recorded in my room, and objects I use every day were used in different ways for each sound event. They were a new, unknown world. Like cutting and weaving the threads with one's own hands, this work was done only by cutting, horizontal arraying and intensity adjusting recorded material, which was the important technical limit I self-imposed on this piece.
I gave the piece a French title so as not to hide its connection to Satie's piece, which spoke to me a lot. «un fil sur la paume de la main» is dedicated to my father, who gave me a first space of my own, my own childhood room.
