Ep. 3, Artist Talks: Texu Kim

Texu Kim is a Korean-American composer (and conductor) who transforms unconventional sources - ranging from every day encounters to overlooked human stories - into sophisticated, culturally grounded works infused with clarity, wit, and nuance. I met Texu at the Del Mar International Composers Symposium in 2024. His unique approach to composing is fascinating! His works are performed by orchestras and ensembles across the globe and you can listen to them on his website and on all streaming services. Take a listen to get to glean wonderful insights into this amazing artist's work and process.

In this conversation we discuss: 

• The "Lego blocks" of composition

• Theory as the gateway to musical magic

• Exciting projects coming up!
