The stripped-down, moody compositions of Suchoon Mo are quiet, reflective excursions into passion, pain, and emotional contemplation, filled with Eastern sentiments expressed with Western musical styles. Infused with a sense of meditation, they use spiraling themes and partial repetitions to transport the listener downward through consciousness.
We present two pieces here: "Largo -after Tchaikovsky-" about which the artist says "Largos tend to lack, because of very slow tempo, intense and tumultuous passion. I believe I have succeeded in expressing such passion." We also present his "Piano Sonata in C," a playful and enthusiastic counterpart that builds off the largo's quiet moodiness.—JP
