Currently I am working on several projects and all of them are so precious and so special to me.

Their work always makes me surprise and this time, I am so glad and honored to be part of their production.

And,
This coming April 11th, I am going to be in NYC to premier my another string quartet composition work with Meet the composer and ETHEL.
I am so excited about this concert and sharing my music with people, I composed this piece as a ritual music for everyone both musicians and audiences.
The title of this music is HonBiBaekSan (the Ritual of White Mountian) Honbibaeksan, Korean words, we use this term when you have a shocking news or sad news that you are mentally, emotionally disturbed that you are almost fainted like your face color changed like white paper(pale).... but i changed the meaning differently.. , Okay.. let's look at more detail word by word
Hon means spirits
Bi means fly
Baek means white, pale
San means spread or scatter.
and i changed, countless spirits fly higher into the mountain and layered themselves on top of the mountain.
Finally, Spirits and Ritual music create the huge white layers of mountain and this mountain protects both human and spirit world to be harmonized.
God! this is not easy to explain, you should come to listen to this music in April 11th in NYC.(I will update soon about this or go to my website www.doheelee.com)
However, Thank God! I could not do this one without Kallan's help. Thank to my friend Kallan Nishimoto who took care of all the recording of percussions and my voice..
his endless of supports really help my artistic growing.
At last,
I am preparing next PURI Project 6th "GaNADa" AIRs and APICC.
when you look at my old post in this blog, you will find some of info about Mago (Korean Goddess), I have been dig this project since 2009 then and tried some (2009 deepSea) (2010 GaNADa small project), and now still try out to develop this project and PURI 6 is going to be part of that.
I am so excited share this project as well because this is my personal journey that I can share with people through mythology, Shamanism and Karmic way.
for now, I am just giving you a little taste of them but it will be more detail each project little by little.
I will keep post info through words, photos and whatever that can address.
and sorry for my broken English, and my dear friend said don't worry about the grammar or whatever, just write what you feel and what you see and what you want to share.
So here I am...
