This piece was written as a part of an intercultural collaboration as a part of a summer music festival. I researched and got the opportunity of writing for the gayageum, a plucked instrument from Korea. My goal with the piece was to use the unique sound of the instrument to embody my own image of the cunning and beautiful nine-tailed fox from Korean mythology, showing the different elements of it’s personality through different musical soundspaces.
