Hear artist's story
Everything changed.
Media, the public and artists have all changed.
Everything changed. Media, the public and artists have all changed. There was a time when being different was a bad thing, but today, people do not want to be the same as others. It’s distinctively unappealing. Something that’s overly common is of little value. Everyone wants to be original, unique and individualized but it doesn’t happen overnight. Though you’re not a hipster yourself, you can still take on the non-mainstream sensibilities of a hipster. Media has changed, listeners have changed and artist s have changed. Artists now offer interesting answers to picky listeners who desire a new experience. Musicians veer between the virtue of art and the vanity of kitsch. Brilliant eccentrics and the story of their brilliant work.

Echae en Route
Music defined as undefined
Comprised of a violin and bass, the band has a distinct style. Echae Kang plays the violin like it’s a guitar and Kwon Oh-kyeong supports the offbeat melody of violin with his bass. Together, they cover various genres of music from folk to R&B, jazz and classic without breaking a sweat. While adapting different styles of music, the duo continue to work with other musicians. They’re also well-known to create blends of different Sounds through arrangement of well-known pieces. The band is dened as undened. But do they really have to be defined? You will surely feel that you already know them as soon as you hear their music.
