About This Item
I'm trying to document emotions, more than specific events and memories. I mean... that's what my music is at the end of the day - I'm just documenting. This is Lucy Liyou, the Philadelphia-based experimental musician behind cinematic sister LPs Welfare and Practice. Working in their Korean-American lineage and pulling from childhood memories, Liyou takes inspiration from Pansori (Korean Folk Opera), a style of Korean musical storytelling; and Korean drama soundtracks. Collaging text-to-speech (TTS) with their own voice, personal field recordings, audio samples from memes, Tumblr, and YouTube videos, synthesizers, and rich acoustic piano, Liyou creates their own distinct narrative.1) I'm Going to Therapy2) Unnie3) Who You Feed4) Some Form of Kindness5) You are every memory6) Uncle7) At the dinner table8) Easiest9) How to build an automaton10) Patron11) Hail mary12) September 5
