INTRODUCTION The sounds of live instruments, for example a prepared grand piano performed with hairs of bows, serve as interface in an audiovisual interactive concert that merges a sophisticated instrumental sound and real-time computing in an improvisation. While visual images and processes are being generated during the concert, a multi-channel granular synthesis fits together minute tonal particles that make up the instrumental sounds into a constantly changing acoustic stream made up of different pitches, duration and positions in the electro-acoustic space. The musical and visual components interact and reciprocally Figure 2. Yang qin in Erinnerung in jedem Laut influence each other in order to blend into a unique, synaesthetic, improvisational work of art. 2.3 Arco Piano 2.

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

The court music had been performed at court rituals and parties without any discontinuation as usual. The court music faithfully had carried out its duties as functional music at court rituals and parties until the end of 19th Century. The number of court music was being decreased little by little and going to be fixed in the 19th Century. The fixed number of court music in the 19th Century was nearly the same as that of today. It, however, does not mean that the then court music lost its musical meaning and energy as well. Though the number of court music of those days was going to decrease, the then court music was still boasting of its musical meaning and energy. Unlike the court music in the 19th Century, the number of literati and folk music was quite contrary. These two were going to build their new musical worlds and beauties in their unique styles at the same time. It is believed that the present musical style and form of Boheoja (ʍඓࢲ, now called Boheosa , ʍඓ͵, or Hwanghacheon g, ๣മ୿) and its variations, ๬δ), Gagok (歌曲), and Gasa ( 歌͵) of the΄ڠ) ǐ樂), Yeongsan-hoesang؛ ) Yeomilnak literati music ( 선비음악) were framed in this period.
