<Me & My Dog>

2011 <Secret Stories Heard From A Girl of An Opium Den>,

Following 2018’s “Nobody’s Gold”

This is Gathering Byul’s third regular album.

/

Track 1 - <I Am Here>: Gathering Star was in charge of music

Feature film <Time To Be Strong>

(Written/directed by Nam Gung-seon, starring Choi Sung, Ha Seo-yoon, and Hyun Woo-seok, produced by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea)

This song is included. The title is part of a line included in the main character ‘Su-min’s’ monologue.

Although it is formally a functional song created for a movie,

In fact, it can be said that this song was written entirely with inspiration/impression from the movie.

The film premiered at the 2024 Jeonju International Film Festival.

|

Track 2 - <Our Dog>: The experiences of a long-time friend of a team member at each meeting

A song that records the story of the process of heartbreak through music.

A lover who took care of a dog with all his heart leaves.

One day when I was in deep disappointment, I saw the Instagram account of the person I broke up with.

Another story of shock and sadness from the photos of other dogs posted.

It is based on The person who confessed the painful experience that became the subject of the song

Fashion designer Jeong Wook-Jun (Juun.J) was also in charge of the song's chorus.

|

Track 3 - <Where Do We Cry at Night>: The building of a telecommunications company that Gathering Byul participated in planning and producing.

In the media art installation series, we collaborate with artist Soyoung Lee, who specializes in miniature plant paintings.

It is based on the instrumental piece created for the piece.

After a long time, I refined the song and added lyrics and melody.

It was included in the CD <Hometown of the Night>, which was sold for one day at CAVA LIFE in 2023.

Afterwards, the song was re-arranged according to the band composition and the song was changed.

Art artist Yang Hae-gyu, a long-time friend and colleague, sang the song.

|

Track 4 - <Mirrors Facing Each Other>: Gathering Stars opening poster, dedicated web, information video, printed materials, etc.

Ambience recorded (Field Recording) in the 'Thus Room' of the National Museum of Korea in charge of visual design

A song with ambience recorded at Itaewon lounge/club ‘Kockiri’ placed on the left and right.

Participated in the design work related to the opening of the 'Sayu Room' and created various souvenirs for visitors to commemorate the opening.

While I was planning, there was nothing except two paintings of half-private paintings, the lights were off, and no one was coming and going.

We proposed to the museum that we record the ambience of the early morning exhibition room and produce it as an album.

It was reviewed positively, but was eventually canceled.

I briefly experimented with the regrets at the time in a modified or advanced form.

|

Track 5 - <Lake>: Continuously covered since the early songs,

It contains questions about the sign-concept-value of 'love', which has been greatly ideologized/commodified.

'Cannot be classified as love' based on the standards of customs, morals/ethics, and legal systems that are considered normal,

'Loves that do not/will not 'come true' or do not need to 'come true'', 'Love that is not expressed by the word love'

It is a ''love' song' that summarizes the feelings of lovers.

|

Track 6 - <Not a Lover>: Feature film <Heavy Snow> for which music was provided

(Directed by Yoon Sook, starring Han So-hee and Han Hae-in).

The film premiered at the 2023 Hamburg International Film Festival and is scheduled for release in 2024.

|

Track 7 - <New Rock>: <New Rock> captures and collects the process of plastic waste being transformed and assimilated in nature.

It is the work and title of artist Jang Hanna, presented as a work of art.

The song of the same name, <New Rock>, is a reference to the video work <New Nature> by Hanna Jang in an exhibition held at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in 2024.

It was first composed as music for

Afterwards, it was newly arranged and completed by combining lines from classic Korean movies.

|

Track 8 - "Shattered": The band claims that this track is similar to <2>, <Pacific>, and <Intimate Enemies>.

I think it is a song that continues the form and emotion inherent in previous works.

“I broke the promise I made to you to protect you from you. sorry."

|

Track 9 - <At the Afterclub>: Used to create a kind of psychedelic sound in early songs.

This is the first use of Indian musical instruments in over 20 years.

A song inserted in a scene in the movie <Snowfall> where the main character is in a dangerous state after overdosing on drugs.

Unlike the movie insert version, ambience, piano, drums, guitar, etc. are added.

|

Track 10 - <Don't look at me at the moment when eternity passes through time>: When composer Cho Tae-sang was a high school student

One of the first few songs I wrote in my life.

Most of the songs on the album were co-produced by Jo Tae-sang, Seo Hyun-jung, and Hwang So-yoon.

This song was completed with Hwang So-yoon's sole production from start to finish.
