Biography
Seyoung Oh is a composer and singer based in Glasgow, and originally from Seoul, South Korea. She writes music for live concerts and other mediums such as dance and film. She wants to reflect herself through composing - her experiences, identity and emotional journey in her life. Her music often explores transformation of texture, reflecting her interest in nature - she creates an archetypical material and develops it through organic transformation by changing a few parameters over time. Electronic sound is another of her interests which allows her to explore a broader palette of timbres and gestures.
Her music was performed in festivals such as Nordic Music Days Festival (2024), Plug Festival, St Andrew’s Intersections, West End Festival and GLEAM festival whilst working with groups such as Hebrides Ensemble, Scottish Ensemble, soprano Stephanie Lamprea and University of Glasgow Chapel Choir. Seyoung won 2024 Craig Armstrong Prize and the 2023 Walter and Dinah Wolfe composition prize as a runner-up.
Seyoung released a dance film ‘A Tree of Moulded Voices’ in June, 2024; It’s a collaborative project she produced with modern dancers and film director.
