about

The first regular album of the creative music group 'Gaak Project' tells the first story under the name “Soar”. The group is releasing creative works adding modern sophistication to the old tone of the album. Some of the songs in this album have already been performed in Korea as well as at oversea invitational performances and was evaluated as 'fresh, heavy and intense', 'music that resonates,' Their music is neither unfamiliar nor obvious but it is not outside the category of common sense. The stories in their music contain events such as life and death and end with happy or sad endings, and their music generally reflects all the emotions that human beings can feel, such as sorrow and joy.

Gaak is a musical group that has artistry and popular appeal merge with Korean traditional musical elements, beauty of space, excitement, and comfort.
The name, Gaak, is based on Chinese characters that mean Song for Ga and Music for Ak.
The project is called so because it suggests a spectrum by playing various instruments and plan to do varied musical experiments.
Gaak shows different musical character than traditional or modern sense because the members do experiments in various way.

There are five members in our group:
Dong-seok Park who leads the group as composer, pianist and guitarist, Su-jin Seo on Ajaeng(a seven-stringed instrument), Dong-jun Lee on Daegeum, Bo-gwon Jung as Pansori singer(Korean traditional folk music), and Han-sam Kim as percussionist.

Group history
In a modern society where popoular music is fully supported, the group was established in 2017 with young musicians who share their worries about walking along the path of the traditional musical instruments.
