i hope i can keep this discussion on topic ;-) otherwise i'll be glad
to switch off-list with this.
the commercialised korean techno / hiphop is certainly beyond
discussion, from what i heard of it (although i find it hard to
believe there isn't some well-hidden stuff that's more creative) but
is pansori indeed still practised? i'm not familiar with much
kayagum, but samulnori... well i suppose you need to be to a concert
to really appreciate them. and there's nothing else? microsound
material you order online then? is pressure to conform that high?
