Intro

The Rhythm of Korea Embraces the Music of the World

Synopsis

Based on the traditional rhythm of Korea, Korean Breath presents the improvisation of both jazz and traditional Korean music.
It projects the traditional idea of ‘breath’ as a musical element.
While retaining the existing improvisational aspect of the group, in Korean Breath,
SE:UM attempts diverse variations with the refined composition and the musical texture.

Review

"Formed in 2013 by jazz players and traditional musicians, SE:UM aims Korean trance-fusion, and produces a unique ensemble.
What makes SE:UM unique is the imagery that amongst the tight-knit matrix of composition and improvisation, various instruments brew the fine texture of sound, and the sound fills the void and stacks up. SE:UM does themselves justice live as much on the album."
- Min-Yong Ahn, 2015 Korean Music Awards Committee

"Traditional music blend with jazz, interesting fusion!"
- Austin Wang
