Improvisation draws on traditional gut ritual forms, reinterpreting them in a contemporary setting. Listeners may follow the accompanying stories or experience the music through their own imagination.

Seven pieces. Between the intro and outro, five pieces connect to newly created stories inspired by historical events and moments in Korean immigrant lives. The full track list and program file are forthcoming.
