		Korean traditional court music is slow and simple in tempo and rhythm in comparison with Western music.
		At the same time, traditional music began to be treated as a sort of useless relic to be preserved purely for the sake of being handed down to future generations.
		Korean court music consists of two kinds, Dang-ak (Chinese court music invented during the Dang dynasty) and Hyang-ak (indigenous court music).

	Aak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Aak is often labled as "elegant music" in contrast with other traditional Korean music.
		The music is now highly specialized, and uses just two different surviving melodies, and is played only at certain very rare concerts, such as the Munmyo jeryeak (Sacrifice to Confucius) held each spring and autumn at the Munmyo shrine in Seoul.
		Aak is one of three types of Korean court music; the other two are dangak and hyangak.

	Jin Hi Kim, Nonpop New Music Composer
		Kim began her study of traditional Korean music at the age of 13, and she believes there is now a convergence in different eras and that the centuries-old Korean court music philosophy, based on cosmic principles, and Western concepts, such as atomic theory, fractal geometry and chaos aesthetics, co-exist in living tones.
		Korean court music is often structured in hetero-phonic orchestration, irregular and organic phrases and microtonal shadings.
		Korean music is strongly influenced by Shamanistic ecstatic possession, Taoism's middle way between the static and dynamic, the Confucian concept of right conduct (emphasizing ceremony and utilization of the universal sound), and Buddhism's meditative quest for nothingness.

	Korean Court Dances
		Korean court dances, called Chongjae, meaning literally "display of talent," were used to entertain for the royal family, court functionaries, and foreign envoys.
		Court classics glorifying the court and praying for a long life for the king were formulated in solemn, elegant movements accompanied by equally solemn music and occasional songs.
		In the indigenous Korean court dances there were no pole bearers and dancers lifted and lowered themselves backwards and forwards as they sang.

	Traditional Korean Music
		Diverse instruments and music forms, folk songs, religious works, court music, and shaman rituals all express the soul of a nation whose history is filled with colourful and fascinating tales.
		The task of classifying traditional Korean music is somewhat challenging as the boundaries between the various music forms are not always distinct.
		We have decided to classify the music as in the index on the left side of this page despite the risk that this represents an oversimplification of the music culture and despite the fact that all music is essentially folk music.

	Tradition
		When I spent two months during the summer of 1999 listening to the daily rehearsals of a Korean traditional orchestra, I noticed, in the midst of older, more conservative, proudly nationalistic musicians, younger players, talking secretly on their cell phones in the middle of rehearsals.
		Korean folk music comes from the people, land, weather, and language of a certain part of the country and sounds direct and undisguised.
		We might also consider the characteristic of court music where many people play the same melody, without worrying about being exactly together, and with no one dominating, as a way people might live together harmoniously.

		True to the musical aesthetics of Confucianism, a music was born that was no less impressive than it was subdued, slow, and simple in form, that was quite unlike Chinese music, or that was at one and the same time the most Chinese and the most un-Chinese of musics.
		The importation and Koreanization of Chinese poetry and music is not as simple a process as this group’s music-making, but I believe it was made possible by similar factors: the open-minded willingness to accept a foreign music without resistance, and the musical ability to make that music one’s own.
		In this way, while Korean music, or at least the music of the ruling class, was strongly influenced by Chinese music, in the process the imported music was thoroughly Koreanized and acquired a unique character that cannot be found anywhere in China.

		Since my brother was into music a lot and was in a band at the time, I got drawn into it, and just learned from there.
		At the time, I also was heavily studying the metaphysics and effects of music and sound on human consciousness, music theory, microtonal tuning systems (just intonation), sound healing, etc. and wanted to incorporate this in creative ways.
		Most likely, the music that will incorporate these aspects more so will be my side project, but hopefully, I will be able to incorporate some of it into Kalon as time goes by.
