about

Vichāra is an album of solo vibraphone explorations and improvisations, recorded by Chris Varga in February of 2023. An inveterate member of the Korean jazz scene since the early 2000’s, Chris moved from the States and was first active as a drummer, and then exclusively on vibraphone. Vichāra features Chris’ varied compositional approach in a series of 10 improvisations, each exploring a rich tapestry of sound and overtones with a particular mood.

Vichāra는 2023년 2월에 크리스 바가 (Chris Varga)가 녹음한 솔로 비브라폰 음악적인 탐구 및 즉흥 연주의 앨범입니다. 2000년대 초반부터 한국 재즈 씬의 노련한 멤버인 크리스는 먼저 미국에서 이주하여 드러머로 활동을 시작했고, 그 후 비브라폰에서만 활약하고 있습니다. Vichāra는 크리스의 다양한 작곡 접근법을 10개의 즉흥 연주를 통해 탐구하며, 각각이 특별한 분위기와 함께 풍부한 사운드와 고주파를 전합니다.

Mung Music Seoul, South Korea

Mung is a Korean expression "멍" roughly translated as "spacing out", a process during which our conscious minds step back and allow our subconscious minds to take over, much like what happens in the art of improvisation. MM focuses on improvised and original music from Seoul, Korea and is mainly recorded using a vintage Tascam 424 cassette 4 track recorder. All artwork by Sunjae Lee. ... more
