Crossing the Border | Flute & Electronics by Kangyi Zhang

Escape from North Korea, inspired by Hyeon-seo Lee Flute and Electronic Flute | composed and performed by Kangyi Zhang This piece was first inspired by a conversation in Denver with my DJ friend Justin Cheasty. He talked about his experiences with Pro Tools and I immediately had an idea about using recordings of contemporary flute techniques. We also started talking about this amazing TED talk given by Hyeon-seo Lee “My Escape from North Korea”. Hyeon-seo Lee talked about her courageous journey of escaping North Korea and subsequently rescuing her parents from the totalitarian regime. Several motivic ideas are used throughout three sections: “Confinement”, “The Escape”, and “A Poignant Liberation”. Several fragmentary motifs, which appear purposeless and restricted in the beginning, shift into continuous motion in the second section. Finally, the ideas are fully presented in meaningful and melodious themes. “A Poignant Liberation” depicts North Koreans who successfully escaped the regime but are now separated from their loved ones. Utilizing audio recordings and synthesizers, this piece overcomes major challenges of flute performance. Contemporary flute techniques such as tongue pizzicato and jet whistle are hard to reproduce exactly using synthesizers. These sounds are crucial in representing the exhausted physical and mental state of the subject. On the other hand, synthesizers are utilized for their limitless possibilities. Selected for Traveling Tunes | New Music Masterworks, The New Music Conflagration, Florida, USA. This piece is the final project in Drew Schnurr's Electronic Music class (Fall 2014).
