I am listening to your music again, its very soothing and calming. It would be perfect for the one of the soundtracks for a korean movie. Did you teach yourself the piano and composition?
Thank you for the kind remarks, its is very encouraging. To answer your question, I have never studied composition, and I write on the piano whenever I get the inspiration which means not very often. I have only started composing few months ago, and although I have diploma in piano performance I have not had too much time unfortunately to play.
Please post more of your compositions - I am very interested, as you pointed out we have similar musical inclinations.
BTW your playing is full of expressivity.
