Bio
Korean music group Coreyah aspires to revive and transmit the traditional practice by which musicians compose music through the act of performance. Kwon Asin, who previously led a lot of vocal groups, founded Coreyah in order to extend this traditional music-making method to voice and melodic instruments. The players of Coreyah, in an intense pursuit of delicate and precise sonorities, craft new music through and imaginative integration of instruments, performance process, and creation. Coreyah’s music is based on three traditional music genres: 1) Pansori, the ultimate vocal solo genre, 2) Sinawi, a hetero-phonic and improvisational ensemble music, 3) Gut, music of folk festivals. Using these rich cultural roots as a springboard for creation, Coreyah has transformed the sonic resonance of Korean heritage into a modern music. The living and powerful music of Coreyah has caught the attention of both domestic and international audiences, and Coreyah will take this project across the regions and borders carrying its artistic inspiration and vitalization energy.
