Dal:Um (South Korea / Glitterbeat Records) With Support Tba

Dal:um is a musical duo based in Seoul, who challenges the sonic possibilities of Korea's most well-known traditional string instruments: the gayageum and geomungo. Ethereal and otherworldly, Dal:um creates a compelling soundworld that treasures subtle dynamics and the space between the notes.
Two musicians. Two weighty acoustic stringed instruments. A dialogue between traditional and experimental practices. A melding of both new possibilities and deeply traveled resonances.
Silence and expression.
Contemporary and traditional.
Fullness and emptiness.
Similar and different.https://www.youtube.com/watchv=2--j6gzKxmM
