꿈 Kkum꿈 kkum 37 - Geori (Jared Redmond & Dasom Baek): Live at vurt.41min Continuous Live Performance by Jared Redmond & Dasom Baek / Recorded at vurt., 15 May 2022 (Kkum Live Event)
37번째 꿈 이야기는 서울에 기반을 둔 현대/실험음악 집단 '거리'의 자유 즉흥 연주 라이브 세트와 함께합니다.
이번 에피소드는 지난 5월 15일에 클럽 vurt.에서 열렸던 꿈kkum 라이브 이벤트에서 녹음되었습니다.
거리(Geori)는 피아니스트, 작곡가, 예술감독으로 활동중인 Jared Redmond와 대금 연주자이자 작곡가로 활동중인 백다솜이 위대한 시인 '이상'의 시 ‘거리’로부터 영감을 받아 만들어진 즉흥 자유 연주 그룹이며, 2016년 결성 이후 자유 즉흥 연주 이외에도 노이즈, 실험음악, 설치미술, 미디어 아트 등 다양한 예술분야의 작가들과 협업해오고 있다. 2023년에는 독일의 전설적인 앰비언트 아티스트 Wolfgang Voigt과 협업한 ‘금(金)’이라는 제목의 실험적 즉흥 앨범이 영국의 Astral Industries 레이블을 통해 발매될 예정이며, 미국의 Tone Glow Records를 통해 정규 앨범 발매를 준비하고 있다.
The 37th Kkum episode is accompanied by a live performance recording of freely improvised music from Seoul-based contemporary/experimental music group ‘Geori’ (Jared Redmond & Dasom Baek).
This episode was recorded last May 15th at the Kkum live event held at club Vurt.
Geori is a contemporary experimental and improvisational performance group, inspired by great experimental poet Yi Sang's poem ‘Geori’ ('Distance') it is led by artistic directors Jared Redmond, contemporary pianist and composer, and daegeum (Korean bamboo flute) player and composer Dasom Baek. Geori has been collaborating with artists from various fields including noise and experimental music, media arts, contemporary classical composition, and installation art.
