Ⅵ. Understanding of Inspirationism by Composer Dae-Ho Eom

Dae-Ho Eom places spirituality in the upper concept of reason and emotion, and defines the act of creating art through the harmony of these three elements as inspirationism. Through this, art goes beyond simple sensory enjoyment and resonates with the inner self and soul of humans.

* The view that spirituality encompasses reason and emotion: Spirituality is considered as the fundamental power of human existence. Reason understands the world through logical thinking, and emotion is a means of expressing various human emotions. Spirituality integrates reason and emotion to enable a broader and deeper level of perception.

Music created based on spirituality does not remain as subjective music that simply expresses personal emotions. At the same time, it also avoids inhuman music that emphasizes only reason and loses human warmth. Only when reason and emotion are in harmony with spirituality at the center can music in its true meaning be born.
