THE PEACE HOUSE was inspired by Korean culture and traditional music, and by the idea of “peace” in general. The title draws the name from the Inter-Korean Peace House on the border between South and North Korea, a building that serves as a venue for peace talks between the countries. The building is situated in the Joint Security Area on the south side of the Military Demarcation Line bisecting the area. Before the Korean War, the village, named Panmunjom, consisted of homeowning civilians. The music tries to depict the fear and horror that wars instill within people, as well as the peaceful-yet-complicated emotions that people might have after a disastrous storm.
