about

Recorded in August of 2009 in a beautiful wood room in rural Massachusets this recording captures the ongoing work of a collaboration that began in 2003 with Jin Hi Kim’s invitation for a project in Korea. Jin Hi Kim plays the traditional Korean Komungo, often referred to as the father of Asian zithers partially for its very rich and bass-like tone as well as its long history in Korean traditional music. She also plays what she calls the Electric Komungo, which uses the same basic traditional instrument outfitted with electrical pickups built into the instrument and then processed through a MAX/MSP program on her computer that she designed that connects the natural sonic qualities of the traditional instrument with very wide array of related processing orchestrations. “For me there is a connection I have discovered through working with Jin that relates to the way I have developed a sense of articulating time that is as much about the space between each sound as the placement in time of each sound that finds a natural parallel to the way in which Korean traditional music is organized in respect to pulse and rhythm” (GH). This duo recording is unlike anything previous in the Auricle catalog in its musical character, sense of space and the way in which these two players hear each other and find connection between the cultural backgrounds of these two very different musicians.
