	Video Ears Music Eyes The first sound you hear is the 'thwang' of a plucked string on a komungo, as if you were inside the instrument. The piece is '36 Strings' (1992), composed for Jin Hi Kim to accompany a 5-channel video installation. In fact, all of this music was composed by Joseph Celli for star performers and video. The pieces include '8 Mallets for Brian' (1986), for Brian Johnson and 3-channel video; 'Andes, for 7 Peruvian musicians and a Mountain of Televisions' (1990); 'Video Sax' (1993), for Ulrich Krieger and 5-channel video; and 'Violin and Video' (1988), for Malcolm Goldstein and 3-channel video. As Celli wrote, "In 1983, I began to make pieces utilizing multiple channel video with live performers . . . " The videos, like the music, get close in, conveying the players' motions in complex, overlaid visual imagery, full of simultaneous but different detail that matches the sweeping, overlaid levels of sound.

	Komunguitar Jin Hi Kim plays the komungo, a Korean 6-string zither similar to the Japanese koto. Bringing her traditional technique and sensibilities to contemporary improvisation, she teams up with guitar aces Elliott Sharp, Derek Bailey, Henry Kaiser, Eugene Chadbourne, Hans Reichel and David First for a set of duets exploring the gamut of cross-cultural string bending possibilities.

	Komungo Jin Hi Kim brings the old world and the new into wonderful juxtaposition as she performs her own music for traditional Korean komungo, a stringed instrument something like a zither, and a new custom-designed electric komungo. The sounds are fascinating, expressive and often mesmerizing. The compositions include 'Self Portrait' (1999), 'Core' (1999), 'Saturn's Moons' (2000) for electric komungo, 'Ssareng' (1999), 'Dance of Meditation' (1997) from 'Dragon Bond Rite', 'Silk To Metal' (1995) for electric komungo, 'Fluttering Tchong' (1999), 'Jupiter's Moons (2000) for electric komungo, and 'EK for JC' (2000) for electric komungo. Performances by Jin Hi Kim, with Shonosuke Okura (Japanese otsuzumi drum) and Kongar-ol Ondar (Tuvanese throat singer) on 'Dance of Meditation'. O.O.  =>  OO168  $16.00
	No World Improvisations Joseph Celli and Jin Hi Kim cross the frontiers between new, experimental and world music, and travel, as Fanfare Magazine put it, "across uncharted space . . . " Jin Hi Kim plays komungo, changgo, and the world's only electric komungo (which she co-designed). Celli plays oboe, English horn (without reeds), Indian Mukha Veena, and Yamaha WX-7. Again Fanfare: "tough-minded stuff." O.O.  =>  OO101  $16.00
