K-MUSIC 13: Geomungo Factory

There is, you won't be surprised to hear, more to Korean music than 'Gangnam Style'. Here to prove it is K-Music 13, a capital-wide celebration of the diverse sounds of the East Asian states that takes in everything from Korean folk opera to underground rock at venues from Cadogan Hall to the Scala. Tonight is all about the resonant, red-blooded, cello-like twangs and groans of the ancient geomungo, a fourth-century form of the zither. Here making their British debut, cult artists Geomungo Factory have drawn comparisons with Steve Reich and Portico Quartet, and will split their concert between a demo of the instruments' traditional application and their own dark compositions.
