Born in South Korea, Han geul Lee draws from his visceral, performative experiences as a pianist while utilizing modern tools and techniques to create acousmatic, solo, and chamber works, as well as digital media installations.

From a grand prize awarded by the consulate general of the Republic of Korea in 2011 to winning the 2022 Harvard University Fromm Foundation CPI Fellowship, Han’s unique approach to the piano has earned him numerous awards and recognitions for his interpretations. Han’s instrumental and multimedia works have been presented internationally, having premiered his solo piano composition, ‘kitsugi, for the left hand’ at the historic Darmstädter Ferienkurse, as well as his 10.2 channel acousmatic piece ‘SUPERDENSITY-NOIR’ at the Mise-En Music Festival during the summer of 2023.

Since organizing and presenting the inaugural sound art installation at the Manhattan School of Music as a student, he has since been invited to present at academic institutions such as SUNY-Stony Brook, University of Nottingham(UK), and most recently at Northwestern University, where his virtual sensor-based musical interface, ‘monolith’ was premiered at the Ryan Center for Musical Arts. The interface was also used in ‘Newtown Odyssey’, A floating opera set on an industrial canal in NYC.
