This exposition present my study about Korean traditional music in combination with improvisation and composition. It focuses specially on Korean rhythm with both the Korean drum janggu, and the drum kit.
I am going to present my work by giving an insight on my practice methods, discoveries and compositional work. And show how I gradually developed this project during my masters study.
This exposition also explores a theme related to identity, and finding back to ones roots through learning traditional music.
