Not filling space with music, but making a space with music, letting that music itself be a space. This particular ambition is what singer Noh Eunsil has. Her performances touch on performances as we know them from the visual arts, but however you define what the South Korean makes, the result is impressive. The emphasis is on her powerful voice and the raw, penetrating energy that emanates from it. The melodies can be lovely, but always there is that pure, powerful voice that adds sharp, emotional layers and depth. Perhaps the many elegant details in her music feel so refined precisely because of the inner strength of the vocals. In any case, you feel how everything matters, not just what sounds, but the silence, the space that surrounds performer and audience.
