Jeongak

Jeongak is a traditional music in Korea.

It has a more intellectual influence, and is usually associated with the upper class. Jeongak is played as opposed to Minsogak extremely slow. Here it was attempted to match the strike rate of the human breath as the Minsogak the heartbeat sets the pace. Because of the slowness Jeongak feels rather static and meditative, the sound is soft and quiet. This results from the fact that traditional instruments are made of non-metallic materials. For example, stringed instruments with silk strings are populated, and almost all wind instruments are made of bamboo.
