Structured as a triptych, the EP opens with Chopinโs รฉtudeโan essential pillar of pianistic virtuosityโbefore transitioning to Glassโ รฉtude, a piece emblematic of modern minimalism and hypnotic repetition. The journey culminates in Yoonโs own รฉtude, a piece inspired by UK Garage rhythms and the meditative precision found in the paintings of Korean artist Sangnam Lee.
Leeโs Blue Circle No.4 (1993) serves as a visual anchor for the project, mirroring Yoonโs fascination with repetition as both artistic practice and philosophical inquiry. Just as Leeโs layers of acrylic are meticulously ground down in pursuit of depth and texture, Yoonโs รฉtude examines the tension between human imperfection and mechanical exactitudeโan exploration of groove, repetition, and the tactile essence of the piano in the digital age.
Masterfully recorded, mixed, and mastered by Hyomin Kang, whose past work includes Ryuichi Sakamotoโs Playing the Piano, รtudes: Triptych I is the first of three installments. Triptych II, set for release in May, will feature the work of Korean artist Kohui (๊ณ ํ), while Triptych III, arriving in June, will engage with the kinetic sculptures of British artist Conrad Shawcross. Together, these three releases will culminate in a full album that redefines the รฉtude form for the 21st century.
The release will be available across all major streaming platforms, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a sonic dialogue between tradition, transformation, and the timeless pursuit of artistic precision.
