Kang Daniel | Those Oceanic Rhythms
Waves always break toward the shore. Depending on the vantage point, the ocean may appear like a relic of yester-year the waves retreating backward, or conversely, an envoy into the future. Kang Daniel emits the occasional laugh, couched between glass office walls. There’s a gleam in his eye when we recall his idiom of choice, “A person who ages wisely,” he declares gleefully, “thinks of the future, and a person who does not age wisely thinks of the past.” Fittingly, the musician’s artistic journey, and with it, the pursuit of discovering his true self, is marked by aging wisely—looking forward by musically confronting the emotional battles of the past.
