Or maybe an unnecesary Title?

This piece talks about the subject of APT which might remind you of another famous song from Rose. APT or “apartments” are the most common type of housing in Korea. They are ordinary and familiar(even though they are not always easy to own) to most Koreans. In the same way, this piece is built on a rhythm that feels simple and widely known, yet at the same time it resembled Hwimori, a fast rhythm from Korean traditional music. The piece carries both ideas within itself. It chose this common rhythm as both its title and its main musical material. At the same time, it quietly questions its own name, adding the subtitle: “Or maybe an unnecessary title?”

The music begins by gradually speeding up, building momentum as it runs toward its “Apartment” theme. After reaching that point, it slows down like a sanjo, and then continues to slow even more as it comes to a gentle close. Within the music, some rhythms closely match the word “apartment.” At times, one note divides into two, reflecting the syllables of the word: A – aPA – aPAT (one syllable, two syllables, three syllables). In this way, the title is not just a name, but part of the music itself.
