  DOKKAEBI PLAY KIT (2018) - HaeDongSeoungGuk 해동성국(海東盛國)
  
  An avant-garde album combining music and scent.
  Inspired by the music and ritual forms of the beginning of the world.
  Sandalwood, Agarwood, and Frankincense, etc which have been historically widely used in ritual ceremonies stimulated musical performers. And this olfactory stimulation makes auditory stimuli. It is designed to open new space and time while listening to music and burning incense on the basalt stone incense holder.
  
  Composition : CD + guide book + rope incense(10pcs) + basalt incense holder
  
  
  
  
  
  [How to do the DOKKAEBI PLAY?]
  
  One. Make sure you are in a safe place
  Two. Light incense and place it on a stone
  Three. Put music on (listen to the whole CD or just one track over and over)
  Four. Hold your own ceremony in this new time and space
  
  
  STORY.
  
  The combination of percussion (played by Haedong) and bass string instruments (played by Donghee) create a sound similar to the heartbeat of a human being and represents a new space-time that departs from all existing narratives. They were also accompanied by DOSAs(masters who have been cultivating their music for decades). One night, DOKKAEBIes banged the drums and plucked their strings having fun while breathing in the scent of incense. Suddenly DOSAs appeared and shook DOKKAEBIes. Will Dosas be enticed by Dokkaebies, or will Dokkaebies be taken in by Dosas?
  
  
  CONCEPT.
  
  “Dokkaebi Play“ arose from speculating what early music might have been like. Just as music evolved together with the history of mankind and human rituals, the ritualistic music of the Hae Dong Sungguk album came into its own consciousness. The ritual it expresses might be a rain dance, or a funeral, or a hunting ceremony, or even a tea ceremony. Whatever it expresses doesn’t necessarily matter. The moderators of this ritual are also defined as Dokkaebi (goblins), rather musicians or performers. Goblins change into trees and stones during the day, and when night comes, enjoy dancing and singing together. The figure of the goblin, somewhere between human and godlike simultaneously possesses the contradictory traits of pleasantness, wretchedness, and remarkableness.
