about

The guitars on this album were played very slow. It was to draw attention to the silence between notes rather than the sound of the guitar. However, what you hear between the sounds is not actually silence. Several noises are heard there. Then I realized that the sutras come from between the sounds. The slow guitar on this album was meant to trace the contours of the sutra, while the silence was the sutra directed as a nega. In other words, the sutra was continuously lying between sounds. And the slow guitar seemed to release the sound from the musical tone.
In addition, dominant motion is confirmed everywhere in the played phrase. For me, dominant motion is synonymous with "death." I think this is essential to music, but I needed a long silence to slip away from the movement of territorialization of music. As mentioned above, the silence that appears between the large spaces leads the musical tones to realistic sounds. Another, Korean aesthetic sense in guitar playing I have tried 멋 (mŏt) practice and will continue to do so.
