About Me

Yeonsuk Jung (b. 1998) is a Korean-born composer whose works explore harmonies through both analog and digital processes. His compositions span from chamber to electronic music, incorporating acoustic and digital sound production methods. Drawing inspiration from urban planning concepts, he melds eclectic sounds and innovative compositional structures to create immersive auditory experiences.


Yeonsuk’s music has been performed and recognized at prestigious music festivals worldwide, including the 30x30x30 Soli Chamber Ensemble Call for Score (Winner, 2024), The Clements Prize for Composers (Finalist, 2023), and the 2023-24 Klingler Electro Acoustic Residency Competition (Winner, 2023). His works have been showcased at notable venues such as the Conway Hall Sunday Concert Series (London, UK), the International Young Composers' Academy at Ticino (Switzerland, 2022), and the ICEBERG New Music Institute (Vienna, 2022).


As a collaborator, Yeonsuk has worked with renowned contemporary ensembles and performers, including Trio Immersio, Trio Fidelio, SOLI Chamber Ensemble, BGSU Graduate Saxophone Quartet, Duo Duoro, Les Percussions De Strausberg, and Camerata San Antonio. In addition to his traditional compositions, he explores experimental musical outlets under his alter ego, Squab Dad, where he blends dance music and internet culture into genre-defying creations.


Beyond composition, Yeonsuk is deeply involved in the technical aspects of music production. As an experienced recording engineer and music technologist, he has contributed to numerous recording projects, including the production of his own concerto for harp and chamber orchestra. Proficient in Max/MSP, Ableton, and Pro Tools, he also excels in video editing and multimedia production, having independently filmed and edited the video for his piece Kinetic Dissipation. Currently serving as a Music Technology Teaching Assistant at Bowling Green State University, Yeonsuk is passionate about supporting fellow musicians through recording and tech support, aiming to bridge the gap between composition and technology in contemporary music.


Yeonsuk holds Bachelor of Music degrees in Composition and Music Theory from the University of North Texas and is currently pursuing a Master of Music degree at Bowling Green State University under the guidance of Elainie Lillios.
