The second concert of our Music Wednesdays features Sim Eun-yong, the experimental geomungo player from the Korean Avant-rock band, Jambinai. 

Sim Eun-yong is a geomungo player and composer who wants to present the magic of geomungo to the masses through innovative playing techniques and freestyle expression. Sim collaborates extensively with other artists in theatre, dance, and film as a director and performer, and in 2019 she released a solo geomungo album called Afterglow.

“Motion” is a song created spontaneously with a painter where the sounds of the artist drawing on paper are inserted into the middle of the song to provide the sensation of the painting moving freely within the music. The addition of electronic sounds adds to the spatial quality.

The main track “An Eerie Tale” deals with human rights, particularly from the perspective of victims of sexual violence. The music was created with the objective of mutual sympathy whereby the pain and suffering of victims – who have often been repressed into silence – can be shared more freely.

This concert is a part of the Korean Gugak Center’s “Sarangbang Streaming” on 25 April. Please go check the full concert where you can discover the different ways of Geomungo playing - traditional to modern – by 3 talented musicians.
