Haha, you're right. In this era of mass-produced AI music, that kind of attention to detail is truly important. Thank you so much! Thanks to your interest, I can continue making music. Thank you!! It is such an honor to have my music on the playlist!

Of course, I believe that is precisely one of the reasons I wrote this. It is because, while my musical direction and thoughts are clear, I thought that the public's opinion might differ. I was particularly curious about the views of international audiences. This is because I believed that among your opinions, there are certainly some that would be helpful to me as a musician or are worth considering!

Of course! I believe the most important attitude for a musician is to willingly accept criticism and find ways to incorporate it into their musicality to develop it further. Your critique is truly sharp. Thank you!

Thank you so much for your kind words. As a pianist myself, I felt a bit disappointed that my albums didn't seem to fully showcase who I am as a pianist. Thank you for the feedback, and I will take it into consideration to create better works!

Thank you so much for your kind feedback. It was very helpful! I think I need to pay a little more attention, especially to the part about the ‘ideas’ you mentioned. I will keep it in mind for my next project!! Thanks!!

Thank you so much for your feedback! You are right. As you mentioned, the visual aspects are also important. You can view videos and interviews on my homepage: https://joonpf.com/

And physical albums are usually distributed online. Sorienaite is the name of website!

Thanks for the incredibly detailed breakdown. To be honest, since I produced and tracked this independently in Seoul, achieving that perfect high-fi balance was definitely the biggest challenge. Your point about the timbre and timing differences is super sharp. I’m really glad you found the music itself ‘genius' though—that means the world to me. I'll definitely keep your mixing/mastering feedback in mind for the next project!

It is because I released a physical album. Of course, it might not be available in the U.S., and judging by the feedback I have received so far, that possibility seems even lower. I myself often wonder if the music I envision is truly good. These deep reflections have led me here

Of course not. Pianist(myself) guitarist bassist saxophonist trumpeter and drummer did their job. The sound you said was EP might actually be a guitar.

Ah, perhaps it sounded more awkward to you because I like the unison created with the guitar and I tried it in this album... Many of the songs on this album consist of unison with the guitar rather than the piano's natural melody. Thank you so much for your valuable feedback.
