MAMBAARI - Dark Horse

This music is a geomungo solo piece composed in the form of Sanjo, a traditional musical style, with variations on the theme melody of ‘Living in the Mt. Geumgang’ composed by Hong Nan-pa (1898-1941).
Sanjo is a form of solo music in which four or more movements are arranged in a sequence that changes from slow to fast. It is characterised by various rhythmic changes and musical expressions that reveal the personality of the performer. The song is a good blend of the diverse and rich tones of the geomungo, as well as the traditional and modern playing techniques of the geomungo sanjo.

해령은 해저 산맥을 일컫는 용어이다. 세계의 바다 속에 생성된 수천 미터 깊이에 달하는 산맥에는 중앙해령(mid-ocean ridge)이 있고, 이 해령 곳곳에 검은 열수(black smoker)가 황화광물을 분출하고 있다고 한다. 이 뜨겁고 검은 줄기가 심해의 차가운 바닷물 속에서 굴뚝처럼 굳은 구멍을 통해 연기처럼 솟아나오는 사진을 보게 되었다. 거대한 산맥 속에서 형성되어 지표를 향해 용솟음쳐 나오는 열수, 그리고 햇빛이 없이도 열수분출구 주위에서 검은 열수가 지닌 미네랄을 기반으로 하여 생성된 '장미 정원'이라 불리우는 생태계에 대한 이야기가 경이로웠고, 이와 같은 생명으로의 비상을 음악적으로 표현해보고자 했다.

An oceanic ridge is a term referring to an underwater mountain range. In the world's oceans, there are mid-ocean ridges in a mountain range that is thousands of meters deep, and black smokers are said to be spewing out sulfide minerals throughout these ridges. I came across a photo of the hot, black stem rising like smoke through a hole solidified like a chimney in the cold waters of the deep sea. I was amazed by the story about the hydrothermal water formed in a vast mountain range and gushing toward the surface, and the ecosystem called 'Rose Garden' that was created based on the minerals of the black hydrothermal water around the hydrothermal vent even without sunlight. "Hae Ryoung- Black Smokers" is about conquering life.

해령-Black Smokers

이 곡은 세종시문화관광재단이 주최한 한글복합문화 공간 ‘한글상점’에서 활용될 목적으로 제작되었습니다.

28가지 한글 자모의 창의적 조합처럼 전자음악 일렉트로니카, 앰비언트, 익스페리멘탈 장르에 한국 전통 악기를 더해 현대적으로 해석한 음악입니다.

‘슈퍼 히읗’은 한글의 조합 원리를 소리로 확장한 실험적인 사운드 프로젝트로 28마디마다 등장하는 11가지 한국 전통 악기(아쟁, 앙금, 장구, 편종, 대금, 견고, 단소, 퉁소, 방울, 가야금, 거문고)를 그래뉼라 신디사이저와 리샘플링을 통해 재해석하였습니다.

'수퍼 히읗' was composed for Hangeul Shop (한글상점), a cultural venue that is operated by the Sejong Culture and Tourism Foundation.

This track combines traditional Korean instruments with contemporary electronic styles, including electronica, ambient, and experimental music, as a result of the inventive combinations of the 28 Korean Hangeul characters.

It is an experimental sound production that reimagines the logic of Hangeul in audio format.
Every 28 bars, 11 different traditional instruments — including ajaeng, angum, janggu, pyeonjong, daegeum, gyeongo, danso, tungso, bells, gayageum, and geomungo — are transformed using granular synthesis and resampling, creating a soundscape where the familiar and the unfamiliar coexist.
