It may have been the alluring shades of pink and purple, or the beautiful side profile shot of the musician, but I came across this piece and something about the artwork captured my attention almost instantaneously. While listening to the piece, I experienced a vast array of feelings. It’s not often I come across a purely instrumental piece that takes me on a journey as much as this piece did. The building up of the traditional Korean string instrument is not only beautiful, but shockingly transcending. After hearing this, I did some research into the artist and discovered that Park Jiha uses no more than three instruments in any one composition. In Accumulation of Time we are predominantly hearing the yanggeum, a metal-stringed hammered dulcimer. To me, each note played possessed a distinct beauty that I had not come across in a while. I found the piece overall to have some powerful cinematic features, although just hearing it with headphones, eyes closed, was in itself a spectacular auditory experience.
