YesAsia Editorial Description
Since her breakout performance in Boys Over Flowers, Ku Hye Sun has been busy with everything from publishing a novel to holding an art exhibition to writing and directing her own short film. Now the popular do-all actress, who is signed with YG Entertainment, makes an uncanny music debut with her new-age instrumental album Sum. Adding songwriting to her myriad list of talents, she composed all of the album's tracks and invited famous musicians, including Korean pianist Choi In Young and Japanese vocalist and new age pianist Sasaki Isao, to bring her compositions to life. Gummy features in the vocal version of "Around the Corner" (Track 8), the only non-instrumental track of the album. Sum also serves as an advance soundtrack for Ku Hye Sun's upcoming directorial feature which will include the album's songs.

최근 단편 영화 연출, 소설 출간, 전시회 개최 등 다방면에서 재능을 선보인 구혜선이 이번에는 자신의 첫 음반을 발표한다.
이번 음반은 올 연말 크랭크인 할 예정인 구혜선의 첫 장편 영화에 삽입될 음악들을 미리 선보이기 위한 것으로, 구혜선은 음반에 수록될 전곡을 작곡하며 숨겨졌던 음악적 재능을 선보이고 있다. 보통 영화가 개봉된 후 OST 음반을 발표하는 것과는 달리 구혜선이 음반을 먼저 발표하는 이유는 바로 영화가 음악이야기를 다룬 작품이기 때문이다.
구혜선은 “음악 영화이다 보니 기왕이면 음악을 미리 알고 영화를 보는 것이 좋을 것 같아서 음반을 먼저 선보이게 됐다”고 밝혔다.
영화음악을 미리 발표하는 것도 특이하지만 더욱 눈길을 가는 점은 바로 일본 뉴에이지 음악의 거장 이사오 사사키가 연주자로 참여했다는 것이다. 감성을 자극하는 뉴에이지 최고의 명곡 ‘Sky Walker’로 유명한 이사오 사사키는 우리나라에서 일본 음악 붐을 일으킨 장본인이기도 하다.
이사오 사사키는 이번 음반에 참여한 것뿐만 아니라 오는 9월 5일 서울 올림픽 공원 우리금융아트홀에서 열리는 구혜선의 음반 발매 기념 음악회 ‘오버 더 레인보우(Over the rainbow)’에도 특별 출연하여 힘을 실어줄 예정이다.
YG엔터테인먼트 측은 “구혜선의 음반이 이사오 사사키씨의 참여로 더욱 높은 완성도를 갖게 됐으며, 한국과 일본을 오가며 매우 즐겁게 작업에 임하고 있다”며 “음반 발표와 함께 개최하는 ‘오버 더 레인 보우’는 구혜선이 가진 영상, 그림, 음악에 대한 열정과 이사오 사사키만이 선보일 수 있는 감성이 합쳐져 비주얼과 음악, 연주와 아티스트들간의 스토리가 어우러진 다양한 영역을 넘나드는 새로운 개념의 공연이 될 것”이라고 전했다.

Bright light of Ku Hye Sun
Bright light of Ku Hye Sun

I've enjoyed Ku Hye Sun, the actress, since I saw her in "Pure in Heart". I also enjoyed her singing the theme from that drama. Watching her act brings joy to me. Now her album "Sum" is helping me get through a tough stage in my life. Last year (2009) my wife of 37 years suffered two strokes - I thought she was going to die, The stress was unbearable. I managed to make her feel better and kept her spirits up by making her laugh. But I couldn't help me. I was exhausted. I saw that Ms. Ku had released "Sum" and I bought a cd. The effect it had was amazing. I went through every emotion. It made me remember all time we spent together: happy and sad. Each track made me think of our life together. The Joy of marriage, the pain of losing a child, the happiness when our daughter graduated high school and college, the work we did as teachers and our retirement, and what our life would be like now. "Sum" made me cry and smile. It helped me relieve my stress and make this situation bearable. I feel that if "Sum" had this effect on me it could also effect people in any situation. For me it was beautiful music therapy. I wrote this before: When God was giving out talent He moved Ku Hye Sun to the front of the line. I thank Ms. Ku and wish her a full, happy, and successful life. |

Ode to Sweet Melancholia
Ode to Sweet Melancholia

First hearing of Hye Son’s ‘new age’ album I logically thought it would be an instrumental album, although I considered maybe a mixture of gentle electronics and Korean traditional instruments. I was half right, it is an instrumental album in the main (apart from some solo choir singing on 3 and Gummy’s contribution on the last piece), but mostly classical oriented with soft emotional piano music in a somewhat Ravel, Debussy and even Schubert style. Not sure about the ‘new age’ tag though. Although the majority of the pieces are broodingly sad and slow, they’re also youthful and brightly contrasting by spirited piano melodies. Quite beautiful. Think of Debussy’s bright and melancholic picture piano music mixed with sprightly modern melodic childlike melodies which sums up the music here. One thing for sure Hye Son is one gifted lady. I had heard of her multi talents, but proof of the pudding is in the listening here and of you like and love sweet (although quite sad) piano music, especially classical, you’ll love this CD. The album's music (especially the sprightly melody to “Rain”) brought to mind sad films about children, animals and youthful relationships (The Incredible Journey, The Yearling, Old Yeller, The Man in the Moon etc.) with the music pulling at your heartstrings with its mix of sweet, lively, sad and melancholic emotion. The overall music is built around the main opening piece “Rain”, with leitmotif references throughout to the thematic, which does show the yearning Hye Son as to write film and TV scores. Hye Son as written the scores only, and as far as the liner notes mention she doesn’t actually play or sing on the recording as the piano work is performed by Korean pianist In Young Choi and guest Japanese pianist Sasaki Isao with Gummy doing the singing. Hye Son as drawn the cover though, with cut out sketches of hands covering a girl’s face, which suggest opening up to shy feelings (emotion?) by art expression when you bring the cut out hands away from the face. Inside the sketched hands are shown over sketched piano keys. A photo of Hye Sun is also included. This may not be a big hit comparable to K-pop, but no doubt an excellent musical achievement for Hye Son. It would be interesting if Hye Son creates something totally herself with electronic ambient music. Anyway, “Sum” is worth all its parts, and you’ll like this if you’re a fan of classical piano sonatas most definitely. |
