We feel truly grateful to be able to share with you the very final result of the GreeKorea project. Here is the documentary, which is our story. Hope this resonates with your hearts in a very special way.
"Everyone’s story resembles another’s, and it is our hope that this music can inspire you to think about how to live together even when we face conflicts and differences. ... Life is improvisational, replete with unanticipated and astonishing events. We improvise to find creative solutions in the moment. We keep trying." (from the GreeKorea "Greeting the Moon" album booklet) |
