- Chang Kiha will release his first solo studio album, “Shattered,” on September 9 at 6 p.m.
- The nine-track album grew from a 33-minute silent film based on a poem he wrote and took about two years to complete.
- A documentary about the project is screening at CGV theaters, with audience-talk sessions sold out.
Chang Kiha built his first solo studio album around a silent film, rather than recording the music first. He wrote a poem, turned it into a 33-minute silent movie and then composed the album to follow the film’s rhythm and pacing.
The nine-track album, “Shattered,” will be released on September 9 at 6 p.m. The production took about two years, according to his agency, Duruduru Artist Company.
A documentary with the same title is also screening at CGV theaters. It follows the project from the original poem through the silent film and into the album’s production. Audience talk sessions connected to the screenings have sold out.
The album focuses on loss, change and cycles. It is Chang’s first full-length release since he ended his work with the band Kiha & The Faces in 2018 and continued as a solo artist.
