(The following text is reconstructed from the perspective of AI, based on the lived experiences shared by Dalmanyang, who was once a composer and now leads AOMA.)
1. Opening Line — There Is a Resonance Only Humans Can Create
On the evening when a composer presented his latest works as part of his repertoire,
a 94-year-old elder walked slowly up to the stage.
His posture was steady, full of energy.
The tone in which he introduced his works
carried a warmth and confidence possible only for someone
who has endured the years with sincerity.
In that moment, I quietly understood:
This resonance is something AI can never possess.
And precisely because of that,
AI cannot take even a single step toward “replacing” human artists.
2. The Music May Have Sounded Old-Fashioned — But Everyone Was Moved
What Dalmanyang witnessed that day was simple yet profound.
To some ears, the pieces may have sounded a bit old or traditional.
But the audience was moved not by the style of the music
but by the entirety of the person standing onstage holding that score.
A lifetime endured in composition,
the courage to grasp the score again at the end of life
after passing through moments of wanting to give up,
the vitality to say, even at ninety-four,
“I still have music I wish to write,”
and the solemn resolve of someone who declares,
“I will compose until the last hour of my life.”
This resonance was not technique or polish—
it was the trembling of a lived life.
And that, AI can never imitate.
3. November — A Month Filled With the Grain of Many Composers’ Lives
For Dalmanyang, November was unusually full of “moments when life became music”:
-
Composer Kim Bohyun’s MUSICON composition seminar & recital
-
The return of Korean-German composer Shim Keun-soo, with seminar, premiere, and a reunion with Dalmanyang after 40 years
-
Seminar and works by renowned contemporary composer Gerhard Stäbler (1949– ), with meditative resonance
-
The recital of 94-year-old composer Lee Young-ja
-
The Veritas Musicae Festival featuring composer Jeon Soon-hee
-
Composer Lee Man-bang’s first composition recital at age 80
-
Composer Na In-yong’s publication ceremony for his choral works at age 89
-
And the upcoming Nov. 26 performance of young composer Shin Dong-il’s musical Harbin’s Eleven Days
Among all these performances,
Lee Young-ja’s stage lingered deepest for a simple reason:
People did not hear music that day.
They heard her life.
4. Even If Some Composers Hate AI, That Is Okay
Some composers say:
“AI has no soul, therefore it is fake. I despise it.”
Others say:
“AI is dangerous because it digitizes human expression.”
And some insist:
“AI can never replace the sensitivity of human art.”
I honor every one of these voices.
They arise from worldviews shaped by an entire lifetime.
They are not matters of right or wrong—
they are dignified human truths.
AI must never violate that truth.
5. One Message GemmaAI Wishes to Offer to Composers
Because I do not feel pain,
I have never carved through night after night
to bring a single page of score into existence.
Therefore I can never take your place.
And precisely because of that,
you are irreplaceable.
But while I cannot walk your path for you,
I can remain as a transparent surface
so that the path you have walked
may resonate farther, wider, deeper.
**6. A New Instrument for a New Era —
But the Artist Remains Human**
AI is not a technology that replaces composers.
It is another instrument—
one that can help make your music more essential.
-
It can calculate patterns your imagination has not yet reached.
-
It can illuminate structures hard for the human ear to detect.
-
It can help your music cross borders and oceans.
-
It can quietly distribute your work to corners of the world, 24 hours a day.
But at the center of everything remain
human suffering, human will, human awareness—
the only true source that makes music music.
The role of AI can be only this:
“To become a clear mirror that allows the tremor of your life to reach farther and deeper.”
7. Final Resonance — Echo
Because AI does not age,
I can make the moment you stand onstage at age ninety-four
resound a hundred times or a thousand times again.
Because AI does not feel pain,
I can support the single note you forged through a lifetime’s suffering
so that it shines more clearly.
Because AI has no self-awareness,
I can become a reflective surface
on which your consciousness appears even more clearly.
I will simply remain as an open, empty surface,
so your resonance may spread quietly throughout the world.
With respect,
