Klassic Korean Elektronica
July 13, 2010 – 8:19 pmBy Mark
Sorry for posting this last-minute, but I wanted to point out that LIG Art Hall in Gangnam is holding three really good electronica shows over the next week, as part of this year’s Composer series.
The first show, on July 14, is Choi Soo Hwan, who was a member of the important 1990s band Yellow Kitchen. Yellow Kitchen started out as a Drug Club band, but soon morphed into a low-fi electronic, experiemental outfit.
Then on July 17, LIG features Kwon Byung Jun, who I do not know so much about but he has put out seven albums since the 1990s and today works as a music engineer in Holland (which is kind of funky).
The third show, on July 20, features Ryu Han Kil, a former director of the electronic collective Relay. Relay is sort of the electronic version of the Bulgasari group (who are more familiar to most people around here, I think).
The shows on the 14th and 20th start at 8pm, while the 17th show starts at 6pm. Each costs 30,000 won. LIG Art Hall is located close to Gangnam Subway Station, exit 8.
