Blood Quartet &  Dongyang Gozupa  (Barcelona | Seoul)

Blood Quartet (Barcelona, CAT; New York, USA) & Dongyang Gozupa (Seoul, Korea)
They come together to create “Terra Ignota”: a new imaginary folklore that elevates them to the world of science fiction, in which the musical tradition of the Korean Asian country adds to the abstract sound and compositional exploration, to alternative rock and the drifts of the environment, electronics and free-jazz. 

Terra Ignota is a territory that has not yet been explored by humans. This inscription was originally found on ancient maps, mainly in the planispheres, to designate the lands located beyond known areas. As a simile, the two artistic projects, they delve into exploration from unknown creative terrain, like navigators of two cultures. They had never been found before. In 2023 Blood Quartet travelled to Seoul to perform the first collaboration between the two groups, fruiting in new compositions, marked by the strong geographical root character of each musical ensemble, highlighting the traditional Korean instrument yanggeum (Koreandulcimer) on dark musical bases that move between the environment, psychedelia or metal. Now, it is the turn to discover all the potentialities of this collaboration in a show that will show an absolutely new set produced for the occasion. A proposal that explores new territories and that wants its protagonists. They continue their journey through unknown territories.
