Sunik Kim
What we wrote when Sunik took part in Episode 11, 2024:
Sunik Kim is a musician, writer and filmmaker currently based in Los Angeles. Sunik’s music is often described as “a frenzied electronic orchestra that sits somewhere in between free jazz, noise, and Korean shamanic music.” Their writing on subjects ranging from Korean communism to Conlon Nancarrow has been featured in The Wire Magazine, Pitchfork, Bandcamp Daily, Tone Glow and elsewhere. Their latest album, Tears of Rage, was released on Seoul-based label Rope Editions in 2024.
