about

All is born of silence. The silence of winter springs life into existence. A breath must be taken before a sound is voiced. Silence is a necessity in the cyclical spirals of life. In silence, we can listen and hear the voice of the inaudible. It is often where the truth lies, hidden away from what is seen by the eye. It signifies a liminal space in which memories and imaginations arise into consciousness to prepare us to make the next move. In silence, we embody our most vulnerable selves, yet it is this vulnerability that propels our innate abilities for deep transformation. Liminal Silence is a communal meditation on the nature of silence, the cycles of birth and death, and our innermost aspirations for change within.

-Sunny Kim

“The collaborative trio of Vardan Ovsepian, Sunny Kim, and Ben Monder has created an immense and beautiful sonic landscape with Liminal Silence. The compositions come to life through the primal beauty of Sunny’s voice with Vardan’s and Ben’s expansive sounds all blending effortlessly to achieve a sublime musical journey.”
– Steve Cardenas

“Translucent, transcendent, aura-inducing, music for the mind, heart, and soul. Sympathetic, gorgeous, gentle-strong, image-evoking, and trance provoking. These creations of dark to light and the many fractures of light in between, leave me wanting more.”
– Ingrid Jensen

“In Liminal Silence, sounds of the spirit world flow from silence through dreams into vibrant, essential music. Sunny Kim, Vardan Ovsepian, and Ben Monder have unified their heart, soul, and mind into each sonic moment with purpose and extraordinary skill. This ensemble knows how to listen and move together to create a musical story of magic and mystery.”
– Jason Kao Hwang

The Other One
by Henry Threadgill

A very interesting album. At a few places I keep asking myself: Was this composed by Arnold Schönberg (or his disciples)? Anyway, I'm all for skilled musicians exploring the boundary (if one exists) between jazz and classical. Thumbs up! jyrki63
