Performance Detail
Hong Sung Hyun’s Chobeolbi is a project focused on beats from Korea’s shman rites and Korean traditional percussion. The project is a collaboration between Korean traditional percussion and other diverse instruments. In this project, percussion instruments free themselves from their existing role of supporting melodic instruments. So the performance presents a collaboration between percussion and melodic instruments and pieces highlighting the melodic aspect of percussion. The title "Chobeolbi, God’s Raindrops" means that the existence of ’rain,’ which wets dry land and quenches thirst, is God’s blessing. Such rain refers to the one wetting the dry heart of modern people living in today’s tough world.
