Karma is the term for the Asian spiritual concept according to which every action inevitably has a physical and spiritual consequence. A perfect title for this album: with its simultaneously complex and radically catchy pieces that interweave epochs and styles, Black String leaves no listener cold and triggers both mental and physical reactions: A captivating listening trip in every respect.

Black String
Black String expand the pigeonhole concept of world music by many dimensions.The South Korean ensemble juggles with different stylistic building blocks from traditional Asian music, jazz, blues and rock elements as well as electronics. A powerful mixture in which improvisation and traditional forms flow into each other. The sound of unusual instruments is fascinating. Traditional flutes, percussion and string instruments draw intense soundscapes. Modern, global music without borders, but with strong roots: an always exciting listening trip!
