Album Description
Chae’s musical identity has evolved through multiple releases as her trio's work progressed over time, with a three-album cycle focusing on continuity rather than being defined by a single album.
Drawing inspiration from the Psalms, All Day Long follows earlier installments In the Beginning (2024) and Calling in the Wilderness (2025). Rather than interpreting specific texts, the music traces a wordless narrative shaped by reflection, patience, and quiet intensity - exploring an inner arc where stillness, tension, and release sit in careful balance.
Chae’s writing begins with imagery and theme, often rooted in the spiritual dimension of her life, before developing organically at the piano. Ideas emerge through improvisation - melody, harmony, and rhythm taking shape together - then gradually settle into compositions that retain the character of their initial impulse. That approach carries through to performance, where pieces remain flexible and responsive rather than fixed.
Formed in 2023, the trio - Chae, Cypriot bassist Manos Stratis, and British drummer Joshua Wheatley - operates as a collective voice, moving away from a soloist-with-accompaniment model. Their music is defined by attentive listening and subtle interaction, often blurring the roles of melody, rhythm, and texture. Across All Day Long, this results in a restrained but expressive sound, shifting between sparse, contemplative passages and more fluid, groove-led movement.
As a closing statement, All Day Long gathers these elements into a work that is both intimate in scale and expansive in presence.
