  • Geomungo Factory
    ★★★★★ PAMS CHOICE in Korea 2010 WOMEX Official Showcase in Greece 2012 ROSKILDE FESTIVAL in Denmark 2013 WORLD MUSIC ENSEMBLE GEOMUNGO FACTORY PHOTO BY EUNYOUNG KIM Five-star rating ★★★★★ LONDON EVENING STANDARD “Whatever you call it, it is original, powerful and thrilling. And certainly like nothing you have ever heard before.” Simon Broughton Top of world music magazine <SONGLINES> 3 GEOMUNGO FACTORY What makes Korea so special is the way it respects its distinctive past, while staying at the cutting edge of technology and innovation – and if there’s one group that sums that up in music, it’s Geomungo Factory (which is pronounced Ko-mungo Factory). The geomungo zither is over a thousand years old and you won’t fine an instrument like it anywhere else in the world. It has six silk strings and is played by hitting and pluking them with a short stick, giving it a deep, muscular sound, both rhythmic and melodic. Geomungo Factory have also created new instrument – the ‘Xylophone geomungo’, ‘the cello geomungo’ and the ‘electric geomungo’ with a wah-wah pedal. Like Konono No. 1 from Congo and Hanggai from Mongolia, Geomungo Factory sound ancient and contemporary at the same time. Geomungo Facoty includes three geomungo players, Yoo Mi-young, Jung Ein-ryoung and Lee Jung-seok, who are all traditional players, plus Kim Sun-a, who plays gayageum, the plucked zither with 18 or more strings, which is more commomly heard in Korea than the geomungo. “Most people think traditional music is boring,“ they say, “so we want to make geomungo music that

  • Where Did the Old Music Go?
    Where did the Old Music go? The "improved" musical instruments of North Korea J) Keith Howard Professor University of London Since the 1960s, the socialist regime of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) under Kim II-Sung has sponsored a musical instrument institute known as the Minjok akki kaeryang saJpkwa to revise chiJnt'ong akki (traditional instruments) and enable them to match sOyang akki (western instruments). The resultant hybrids are known as kaeryang akki ("improved" instruments), a term in use in both the southern and northern states. Complex instruments are, by their very nature, elitist, yet kaeryang akki are required to respect socialist dogma; the resultant conflicts between state and art, 2 potential or real, are nothing new. ) In this paper, after discussing background unique to North Korea, I explore how development is justified. Kaeryang akki are meant to retain old sound timbres and hence to reflect the Korean heritage, for this is what juche, the state philosophy of self-reliance, demands. At the same time kaeryang akki are designed to be "progressive," duplicating diatonic scales and the flexibility of western models in an exploration and/or accommodation of developments from the world outside. This, together with the modification of 1) This paper is based on a 3-week visit to Pyongyang in June 1992. I am grateful to staff and students at the Pyongyang Music and Dance University (P'yongyang umak muyong taehak), who provide my sound examples and who taught me much about individual instruments. 2) For a survey of such issues, see Perris 1985: chapters 4 and 5.

  • Mountain Music Fromkyrgyzstan
    Ten g ir- To o Mountain Music from Kyrg yzstan Nurlanbek Nyshanov, Artistic Director, wooden and metal jew’s harps, sybyzgy, choor, chopo choor Gulbara Baigashkaeva, komuz and jew’s harp Zainidin Imanaliev, vocal and komuz Rysbek Jumabaev, manaschi (Manas epic reciter) Kenjekul Kubatova, vocal and komuz Asylbek Nasirdinov, komuz, jew’s harp, qyl-qiyak Azamat Otunchiev, qyl-qiyak Tengir-Too is a new ensemble that plays old music. The group takes its name from the eponymous mountain range that towers over the high alpine passes linking Kyrgyzstan and China, and is better known by its Chinese name, Tien Shan, or “Celestial Mountains.” Founded and directed by Nurlanbek Nyshanov, a gifted composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist who grew up in the city of Naryn, Tengir-Too provides a living laboratory for Nyshanov’s efforts to find a voice for Kyrgyz music in the contemporary cultural marketplace. Kyrgyz music is rooted in the sensibility of nomads who AGA KHAN TRUST FOR CULTURE Music Initiative in Central Asia inhabit an awe-inspiring landscape of mountains, lakes, and pristine grasslands. During the Soviet era, however, much of this music was lost or adapted to European musical ideals. Nurlanbek Nyshanov has helped restore its integrity and authenticity, not through an uncritical attempt to reproduce tradition, but by innovating within it. Nyshanov draws on his compositional skills to craft striking arrange- ments for small ensembles of repertories formerly performed by solo players. Members of Tengir-Too include Kenjegul Kubatova, whose lush alto voice is the perfect medium for Kyrgyz lyrical song, Gulbara Baigashkaeva, a master performer on the komuz – the three- stringed lute that Kyrgyz regard as their national instrument, and Asylbek Nasirdinov, who plays the qyl-qiyak, a two-stringed upright fiddle with archaic ties to shamanism.

    GREETINGS Welcome to Experience Korea!!! The National Association for Korean Schools (NAKS) is pleased to off er you to experience Ko- rea while interacting with many Korean language school teachers. Please continue your experience and connect to Korea by attending activities of Ko- rean language schools in your area. When it comes to Experience Korea, NAKS and its member schools Seungmin Lee are here to give you the unique opportunity. Please enjoy. NAKS President Korean Wave (한류) The Korean Wave (Hangul: 한류; Hanja: 韓流; RR: Hallyu; MR: Hallyu, About this sound listen (help·info), a neologism literally meaning “fl ow of Korea”) is the increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s First driven by the spread of K-dramas and K-pop across East, South and Southeast Asia during its initial stages, the Korean Wave evolved from a regional development into a global phenomenon, carried by the Internet and social media and the proliferation of K-pop music videos on YouTube.Part of the success of the Korean Wave owes in part to the development of social net- working services and online video sharing platforms such as YouTube, which have allowed the Korean entertainment industry to reach a sizable overseas audience. Since the turn of the 21st century, South Korea has emerged as a major exporter of popular culture and tourism, aspects which have become a signif- icant part of its burgeoning economy. The growing popularity of Korean pop culture in many parts of the world has prompted the South Korean govern- ment to support its creative industries through subsidies and funding for start- ups, as a form of soft power and in its aim of becoming one of the world’s leading exporters of culture along with Japanese and British culture, a niche that the United States has dominated for nearly a century.
