ABOUT 

Yoona Kim is an ajaeng (Korean bowed zither)performer and composer whose practice weaves through the traditional and the experimental, the past and the present. Yoona synthesizes the temporal fluctuations and ephemeral resonances of Korean traditional music with the timbral expansiveness and radical ethos of noise music and free improvisation.
