a true masterpiece of art, the oneness of instrument and player is omnipresent, the ease of gliding through styles and epochs is almost shocking...
t has been 28 years since I first came to Korea in 1993 and became one with gayageum. I mustered the confidence to release my first album, which I kept delaying because of my desire to fill even more into it.
The times in Japan, North Korea, and Korea in present days have given me so much and brought about a lot of changes. Something that has never changed is the gayageum that was always with me by my side, and my heart towards the gayageum.
My first album "Doraji," filled with the sound of 25 hyun Gayageum, contains the first and present of Moon Yang-sook. While thinking about what songs to include, I decided to set "Doraji," as my title song, which was the first song I played in Korea. 3 of the 5 tracks are arrangements of the songs I learned during my study abroad in North Korea. I learned these songs when I was young but I wanted to try and bring out my own color after studying and being active for a long time in Korea.
