[DIOCIAN Seo Kyuwon] Interview with Ji PyeongKwon
Q. Please introduce yourself briefly.
Hello. I am a music director Ji PyeongKwon. I made my debut as a singer with the song "Farewell near the Window". Since then, I’ve been a composer and director at Daesung Planning (now DSP) and Pan Ent, and have been working as a drama/film/music director.
Q. How did your music get started?
All of my family members were musicians so it was natural for me to become one. I enjoyed playing piano and then decided on the majoring classic instrument which is French horn.
Q. Where do you get inspiration from when you work on your music?
I get inspiration from different fantasies every day, in other words, the sensibility I receive from my body.
Q. What do you care most about when you work with music?
Creativity and Emotions. When I was a child, I focused on emotions of the people around me but since I started to play video music my own creativity and sensitivity have become my most important points.
Q. What is the difference between the previous album and this album?
When previous albums expressed my emotions in a given task, this album expresses my emotions for 100% of my will.
Q. Please tell me about this album.
Sad romance (Sad violin) has been re-created as the music of various forms and genres by singing the previously announced world-famous violin music. Lyrics are written as stories in which both sadness and joy are experienced through the meaning of the love that people experience as they live.
Q. Do you have any special points on the live stage?
Since I mainly conduct in the orchestra, I try to keep up with the members and deliver the songs well.
Q. What genres and musical traits do you want to challenge in the future?
In the future, I will make music with my own sensitivity only to other emotions coming up every day without distinction of the genre.
Q. Which country do you want to enter?
I'd love to go Europe and Japan.
Q. Please let me know about your future plans.
In the future, I would like to be able to communicate with music fans not only in Korea but also around the world.
Q. Do you have any songs you want to recommend?
Ai OST (John Williams) End Credits, Schindler's List OST, and Cinema Paradiso.
Q. Are there activities or areas of interest other than music?
I am interested in movies, TV series, and sports.
