Welcome to Episode 2 of Gugak Breeze! This time, we dive deep into the world of Korean metal percussion instruments — including Kkwaenggwari, Jing, Kwangsoe, Jeongju, and Bara. From their cultural roots to subtle performance techniques, you'll discover how these instruments carry both power and sensitivity. 🎧 I also share my personal story — how I fell in love with these sounds, the journey of meeting a teacher who changed my path, and how I’ve used metal percussion to express my inner world, even during international residencies. “A great metal percussionist can even lull a baby to sleep.” Let’s find out why. 꽹과리, 징 음원 출처: (재)전주정보문화산업진흥원
