Yeong Die would typically be described as DJ, musician, or \u201cexperimental\u201d composer, but in reality she is a sculptor. Between the rapidly disintegrating boundaries of composition and sound design, her work employs a hunting and gathering of intangible material\u2014bursts of memory, fragments of liminal space, interstitial banalities\u2014materializing as boundless expressions that evade genre constructs. As an integral presence among Seoul\u2019s most forward thinking sound artists, Yeong is in a constant uphill battle rejecting the reverence that so quickly creeps in and infects contemporary craft, that relegates even the most audacious attempts of her peers to pigeon-hole pastiche. Given this style-agnostic starting line, her ESP Institute debut ‘Uncapturable’ exudes non-urgency, an unfettered pace that allows breathing room, affording the listener freedom to mentally isolate and explore elements without fear of missing a \u201cbigger picture.\u201d There is a warm and welcoming feeling that invites repetitive, even studied listening. While half the work is somewhat singular in presentation\u2014’1km’, ‘Like Your Flaw’, or ‘Burnt’\u2014there are moments of meticulous complexity\u2014’Morning Rum Punch’ (featuring vocals by Cifika) and ‘Did’ (featuring a smattering of spoken words by icecream drum), both underground Korean peer artists. These moments feel more of like an acute focus on execution that compliments the overall shape of the album, rather than a dynamic contrast. Cifika\u2019s vocals, in particular, command the listener\u2019s periphery in a playful and refreshing way, exaggerating negative space and in-between moments that not only the paint an arresting stereo field but a remarkable sense of depth, not easily achieved without production sorcery.
