Oan Kim
OAN KIM is a Korean-French saxophonist, singer, composer, filmmaker and photographer.
At the age of 5, his mother put him on the violin (it was that or the cello), which he played for the next 15 years.
As a teenager, he developed a passion for jazz and took up the alto saxophone, then the tenor, which he perfected under Julien Loureau.
Convinced that he also had to be a good pianist to become a composer, he studied jazz piano at the Bill Evans Piano Academy under Samy Abenhaïm and Philippe Le Barrelec.
He became fascinated by contemporary music, followed Pierre Boulez's lectures at the Collège de France, studied the scores of Berio, Nono, Ferneyhough, Xenakis, Cage, and frequently attended concerts and lectures at the IRCAM contemporary music center.
