Dot by Dal:um

“An uncharted journey into space. If you like Sunday morning albums with a lot of silence then virtuoso flourishes on gorgeous melodies, (Dal:um) is for you.” -- Mojo

The Korean instrumental duo Dal:um extract intricate and experimental compositions from traditional, zither-like stringed folk instruments - the gayageum and the geomungo. As a followup to their acclaimed 2021 album "Similar & Different" the duo are releasing a new single "Dot." Ever mysterious and opaque, "Dot" is shrouded in thick atmospherics and quiet sensuality. The group tells us that: "The phonological characteristic of plucked instruments is the dot. Focusing on this, dal:um expresses the appearance of a single point coming together."

Dal:um is a musical duo based in Seoul, who challenges the sonic possibilities of Korea’s most well-known traditional string instruments: the gayageum and geomungo.

Ethereal and otherworldly, Dal:um creates a compelling soundworld that treasures subtle dynamics and the space between the notes.
