Abyss by Eunhye Jeong and Minki Cho
https://newyorkmusicdaily.wordpress.com/2020/10/24/abyss/
Abyss is the duo improvisational collaboration of Boston based pianist Eunhye Jeong and Korea based upright bassist Minki Cho. First performing together in 2020 for an album release concert of Eunhye's previous album, "Chi-Da", the duo had a instantly formed rapport and shared a love of free improvisation. This album is a further exploration of their duo work, entirely improvised and going into "the abyss", letting the subconscious dictate the textures that arose, equally placid and terrifying.

Mung is a Korean expression "λ©" 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.
