about

In the course of developing as a drummer, I have learned some personal coping strategies for challenges that arise in life, like living with a physical illness, working through times of sadness, trying to love the most and cause the least pain (for myself and others), and how to communicate and work to the best of my ability.

These methods, in my experience, seems to have recurring patterns:
- to prepare sincerely;
- to accept changes in transitional phases;
- to hold onto the task persistently;
- to emerge confidently;
- to recognise the difference, acknowledge received supports, and to be aware of how to be/do better; and
- to repeat it all again, with new tasks.

My second solo drum album ‘How To Get Through’ follows this process in the form of music, each track corresponding to a different step. You can listen to in one sitting, from first track to last, since it was recorded as one long performance. It can also be listened to whilst looking at my improvised artwork, the album cover.

I would like to acknowledge:
- Simon Berckelman for providing a fun, safe environment at Golden Retriever Studios, and for recording, mixing and mastering this album so calmly and powerfully;
- Jacques Emery for his hard work at the wholesome label People Sound, and for being an all-time supporter, kind companion, and a creative, inspiring musician;
- The Sydney Conservatorium of Music, especially Anna Reid, Simon Barker and Steve Barry, for their ongoing support (financially and otherwise) which has made my life in Australia, research through Masters, and teaching in the Drum Set Course possible;
- My friends in Korea, Canberra, Sydney and many other places, for always staying tuned in to my updates and providing love and prayers at all times; and
- My mum Youngmi Kang, dad Se Yeun Kim, and sister Abigail Yebin Kim, for being such a solid, powerful family that always keeps me grounded.
