“[Seo’s] extraordinary charm and inventiveness ” — San Francisco Chronicle
“Ersatz, folky, rustic, and modernist of its own unique devising.” — Santa Barbara Independent
“In [Seo’s music], the old and the new mingle, creating familiar-yet-unknown forms, establishing a fluidity that is relatively rare in the world of attempting to bridge apparent opposites.”— A Closer Listen
Announcing Obsolete Music by the composer Juri Seo, an intricate, driving, and surprising set of 6 compositions that reimagine traditional classical music ideals with Seo’s fascination with modernist musical developments. Obsolete Music is brilliantly executed by the energetic chamber sextet, Latitude 49, who is known for blending the finesse of a classical ensemble with the drive and precision of a finely tuned rock band. Obsolete Music is out on June 13th, via New Amsterdam Records.
Throughout the 6 tracks on Obsolete Music, Seo juxtaposes traditional musical forms with her lush harmonic language, exciting rhythmic ideas, expanded timbral palette, and unorthodox musical structures. Seo imbues humor, warmth, and emotional depth into her pieces while reflecting on past and present, cycles, and the nature of obsolescence.
Obsolete Music is an exploration of form as a living, breathing being, and through these explorations, Seo takes us to the extremes of her musical imagination by pushing the boundaries of traditional forms. “I think of form as something that's very alive. As a composer, you can control the form to some extent, but you always have to let it grow in its own unexpected ways. Sometimes you can try to break it completely, but even the way it breaks is not entirely within your control. . Through this process of finding reciprocity between your intentions and music, you can give new life to these archaic musical forms.”
