lull~유영 by Modular Seoul (모듈라서울)

Consideration and comfort for everything that exists in the world.
A fantastic soundscape created by the artist collective 'Modular Seoul' and Jogye Order monk 'Inmuk.'

‘lull~유영’ is the first electronic music album presented by ‘Modular Seoul,’ featuring seven tracks that reinterpret the Buddhist chant 'Beompae,' resembling the sounds of nature, and the 'Buddhist Temple's Four Instruments' (불전사물), which hold the meaning of recognizing and comforting all beings, through experimental electronic music.

The 'Buddhist Temple's Four Instruments' refer to the Beomjong (temple bell), Beopgo (Dharma drum), Moktak (wooden fish), and Unpan (cloud gong), which are played during Buddhist rituals. Each instrument symbolizes the salvation and recognition of beings living in hell, on earth, in water, and in the sky.

Beompae, also called 'Eosan' (어산), is one of Korea's three major traditional vocal arts and has been passed down by monks as part of Buddhist ceremonies. The melodies of Beompae, inspired by the swimming movements of fish in a pond, are solemn and weighty, yet at the same time, infinitely warm and gentle. Particularly, the tracks 'Yeonhyangge' and 'Bokcheongge,' featuring Jogye Order monk Inmuk, showcase the essence of Beompae.
