Kim Jae-hwan
Certified Trainer, Seoul, South Korea
In his late 30s, he delved into traditional jazz, further developing his skills on the upright bass while maintaining his identity as a composer and producer. Simultaneously, he explored the world of electronic sound design, particularly focusing on synthesizers. This duality of jazz roots and modern production techniques led to the formation of Night of SeoKyo, a project emphasizing dreamy, ambient electronic music through synthesizers and live DJ setups.
He has been a dedicated educator and researcher at the university level for nearly two decades and also runs a private music institute mentoring young talent. His deep curiosity in sound design found new expression through Bitwig Studio. Fascinated by modulation and the integration of analog synthesizers with DAWs, he became South Korea's only university instructor teaching Bitwig Studio as of 2025. His multifaceted career blends performance, composition, sound innovation, and education, continuously pushing boundaries in both traditional and contemporary music.
