What People Are Saying:

I appreciate his music very much, because he is one of the few composers who have combined his own culture with European composition techniques closely and with great effect. His music is imaginative and poetic.

- Peter Eötvös, Composer & conductor, Hungary

  The Starry Night's Ripples impressed me through the originality, fantasy and mysterious sovereignty of its sound world and its unusual yet organic formal shape. The distinctive solo writing and insightful orchestration (extreme registers ... the imaginative yet economical use of multiphonics .. the sensuous colour of the percussion writing, the terrifying moment of climax with police whistles...) all made it a real musical discovery, the statement of a genuine and inquisitive musical personality.

- Brett Dean

Violist, Composer & conductor, Australia

  Kee-Yong is a genuine artist in search of an honest musical discourse. I'm quite sure he will be one of our greatest composers, he has a formidable ear and an almost unnatural skill to achieve true emotion through elaborate musical forms without losing any sense of taste. He sometimes demands considerable effort of his listeners but his music pays this effort back in multiples.

- Luc Brewaeys

Composer, Belgium

  His ensemble writing was a delight for all of us: everybody felt involved in the ritual of this great homage to Ligeti.

- Jan Michiels & Inge Spinette

soloists and dedicatee in Hidden Eternity, Belgium

 
His music may not be easy, but you want someone who dares to push the boundaries of international standards, someone who can transcribe the wind into music, someone with his head in Orion's belt and his ears to the ground. The Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra [Forum] panel couldn't have made a better choice.

- www.kakiseni.com, Malaysia

(review of The Starry Night's Ripples )

  It's not often that one gets moved to tears at a performance of contemporary music...The young genius from Kluang has found an expressive language all his own in this uncompromising genre.

- Off The Edge magazine, Malaysia

(review of Tearless Moon )

I want to congratulate you on your new piece. (“Shui.Mo” concerto for 4 Chinese instruments and orchestra, 2007) Your use of, fundamentally, Asian sounds—particularly the kind of sound in your cultural environment, combining Chinese and Southeast Asian heritages, is a very good choice. There is considerable potential for this approach. And you used sonorities and timbre effectively.

-Prof. Chou Wen-Chung

Composer, USA

I appreciate very much your music! It is technically strong but also very personal and individual.

-Andre Laporte

Composer. Belgium

...his music struck me as very inventive and artistically pure.

-Jonathan Harvey

Composer, England
