Synopsis

Forestet is a quartet led by rising vibraphonist Yechan Kim, a notable new voice in Korean jazz. Drawing inspiration from nature, the group presents music that is at once simple, repetitive, improvisational, and free. With clear, minimalist melodies, warm harmonies, and a lyrical sound, Forestet captivates audiences through emotional depth and subtle nuance.

 

Their debut album, Nature, was released in 2022, followed up with the EP Loving My Blackdog in 2024. Forestet has since been invited to perform at major festivals and venues across Korea, including the Jarasum Jazz Festival.

 

A programme of 60 Connections – At Home and Afar, a year-long season of Singapore stories and international collaborations in celebration of SG60.
