I got contacted about 2 years ago by a nice dude in his late 40s who has done folk stuff with a band of 20 somethings since the early 90s. He apparently had seen the Dorohty in Wonderland band play live and found out that I was behind the production, and asked me to co-write a tune with him along the vibe of Sopoong. Fast forward to last summer when I spent a month putting the track together with 'em. CIJ Strat and Jag Bass, along with keys, Shaw Penny Whistle(G) and some strenuous drum programming led to a cute little tune that was quite a stretch for the group, genre-wise...But they all have really sweet voices for the job, especially when layered. Lyrics by band leader Hochan Lee, music by Hochan and myself, the track arranged by moi. I played some trumpet and flute on other tracks, but the following is definitely the title song of the album. Though I'd be surprised if they move 5000 units total, it's a catchy tune that repeatedly speaks metaphorically about "...Riding the blue wind, passing seven peaks and twelve clouds", something Mr. Lee hasn't quite explained in full.
They're called Haeoreun Nuri, which roughly means "The World Beneath a Risen Sun", and the tune is called Poongseon Yeohaeng "Balloon Holiday". Bubbly music a departure for a band that does stuff that sounds like songs from '60s protest singer...But it's also the opposite of teh kurdtz unplugged.

Sooper low-budget video clip of new tune Chuil Seojeong "Recollections of on an Autumn Day". Lead singer Jeonghwa Song miming the double-tracked whisper lines in what she's so incredibly good at pulling off... http://tvpot.daum.net/my/PlayListClipVi ... tid=529433 She was such an angel, always serving me tea just minutes upon arriving each day at the studio, and has a smile to brighten up the room. Trewth be told, if I weren't happily married to Cindi I'd have been dropping by MUCH MORE OFTEN just to hang with her. Have I mentioned that I freakin' love her voice?
