Composer's Note:
Jeju Epilogue for 25-String Gayageum quartet and computer sounds is the third in a series of compositions that that present computer-processed news broadcasts in combination with instruments performing live. These pieces transform reports of some of the difficult news of our day and bring them into the contemplative frame of the concert hall. Jeju Epilogue incorporates newscasts that report on demonstrations in 2011 protesting the construction of a naval base in the middle of a marine wildlife sanctuary and on the site of a traditional village on Jeju Island. The piece was composed soon after a 2011 visit to Jeju Island with my family and is dedicated to the bravery and perseverance of the protesters. Jeju Epilogue is the second of two independent compositions written for Sagye Gayageum Quartet; the first is On Jeju Island (2011) for Gayageum quartet.
