As some of you know I make Electronic music under the name "Kuen". Kuen is
the Cantonese word for "Fist", but it is also used in martial arts to denote
certain styles. For instance, Wing Chun Kung Fu would be called "Wing Chun
Kuen". That's why if you watch Chinese kung fu movies, when they talk
about what style they are going to use, the subtitle will say "I will defeat you
using Huo Fist!" Well, he's saying "Huo Kuen"
Anyway... I used to
play music in bands and such, and went to college for music as well, but when I
decided to start doing film seriously I dropped the whole "music as a career"
thing.. but never stopped composing electronic music. Mainly because I
don't have to deal with other musicians and I can do it whenever I want and etc.
So, when I'm struck by some hard insomnia or just feel inspired to make some
music, i'll make some. And every once and a while, when I've got a big
cluster of songs to choose from, I'll pick the ones I like or I think go
together well and make an album out of them.
Another cool aspect of this
is that I can score my own films, which I must say I enjoy. Especially
since I edit them myself, it allows me to go back and forth between the music
composition and the editing, which, though a pain in the ass, I think churns out
a unique product. Anyway, it's because of this that I am putting some Kuen
stuff on the site. I would post all the songs but there just isn't enough
room, so I'll just post some select tracks. If you like what you hear you
should be able to find the rest on
soulseek, or if you can't
you can ask me and I'll get you a copy.
