De/OS unveils new single titled Rise I

Taemin Kim, under his De/OS alias, has released his latest single, Rise I, an ambient, minimalist track inspired by Maya Angelou’s poem Still I Rise.

Blending classical influences from Bach and Beethoven with modern sounds of Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ólafur Arnalds, and Arvo Pärt, Taemin captures the essence of human resilience and spirit. Initially conceived as an orchestral piece, the song evolved into a meditative work after Taemin experimented with a Moog synthesizer.

The result is a hauntingly beautiful soundscape that evokes the image of rising steam—symbolizing the unstoppable nature of the human will. Rise I offers listeners a moment of introspection, reminding them of the importance of preserving humanity’s innate beauty.

This deeply personal track marks a significant evolution in De/OS' experimental music journey. Check out Rise I below.
