This work takes inspiration from my experiences of traveling Dharamsala in India. 'Kora' is a ritual circuit that circumambulates the small mountain which is located around Namgyal Monastery (a Tibetan Buddhist Temple associated with Dalai Lama). Within the piece, I chose  Tibetan singing bowl, bells and kandjira, etc. as Tibetan material in order to express filling of Kora. The meaning of Kora, which I try to express musically through the sound's movement by 16ch surround speakers, is circumambulation. The piece is dedicated to Tibetan refugees in India.
