Gamin （嘉玟）

Gamin的音樂範疇廣泛涵蓋韓國典型傳統劇目，跨流派演奏，及於國內外演奏與錄製之各種近代音樂及即興演出。

2000～2010年曾於韓國國立國樂院，擔任近代國樂管弦樂團首席演奏家。學習階段拜師國寶級篳篥大師JUNG Jae-Guk，另鑽研韓國傳統「巫樂」及「散調」，擁有扎實韓國古典音樂背景。

韓國國立唱劇團音樂總監You Yeong-dae以制約靈魂之解放，直率而細緻，而幸福中帶有哀傷，來形容她的作品。Gamin不僅替韓國近代國樂管弦樂團、韓國KBS廣播交響樂團、釜山市立國樂管弦樂團及首爾都會青少年管弦樂團等眾多知名管弦樂團進行獨奏，亦參與許多室內樂之演出。

目前Gamin已發行三張專輯，第一張「吸引力」(Attraction)乃為使篳篥音樂普及化之作，「並列」(Juxtaposition)探索了篳篥、笙簧、太平蕭及馬林巴木槌琴間無限可能性，而第三張專輯「進展」(Progression)則運用鋼琴及合成器等多種樂器，凸顯近代音樂之發展。而於近期更籌畫「八音」(Eight Sounds)，以博物館為發想理念，透過合成器結合篳篥、笙簧、太平蕭、時尚及影像藝術。知名音樂評論家Yoon Jung-gang不禁讚嘆，由Gamin作品所堆砌出的博物館，超越了時空、有著魔法一般的魅力。

Gamin積極參與文化交流活動，2011年於韓國文化體育觀光部國際藝術家交換計畫下，至美國哈佛大學、賓州大學、達特茅斯學院、東北大學及哈特福大學等地擔任客座教授。旅居紐約市期間，Gamin不僅於貝奈特媒體工作室獨奏演出，更與當地多位頂尖樂手合作，錄製多首即興作品。接著相繼接受法國與德國官方邀請，分別於巴黎、斯特拉斯堡、弗賴堡和卡爾斯魯厄等地演出。Gamin近期於紐約則參與跨文化即興演奏，積極投身工作室及演奏，與Jane Ira Bloom、Elliott Sharp等多位世界級音樂家合作之作品，則於2013年在Roulette劇場首次公開演出。一路走來參賽獲獎無數，其中包含1993年Nangye國樂大賽，1996年Dong-A國樂大賽，2004年WCO及2006年韓國藝術表演協會所頒發的藝術新人獎。

目前她是獲官方認定，具備「第46項大韓民國無形重要文化財」之Yisuja，鑽研藝術之虞，更投身於學院研究，攻讀首爾國立大學傳統音樂博士班，並於「藝術與文化」雜誌中擁有自己的專欄。

Yisuja為韓國對於鑽研韓國無形文化財產之最高尊稱，Jeonsuja則為較低等之稱號。

貝奈特媒體工作室位於紐約，是電視、電影及攝影的知名拍攝場地，另外也籌劃畫展及現場演出。

Gamin分別於2011年與2012年受邀演出，觀看影片請點此連結。 http://bennettmediastudio.com/blog/?s=gamin

Gamin

gamin, perhaps the most celebrated piri (cylindrical double-reed bamboo oboe) artist of her generation, who is constantly moving forward and pushing the limit to “invent” new sonorities from a rather limited and ancient, yet powerful instrument, the piri. gamin is also a master of taepyeonso (double-reed trumpet-like horn) and saenghwang (mouth organ, sheng in Chinese).

Experiment, passion, surprise, elegance and subtlety—are some of the words describing the music of gamin. Most importantly, she understands what “tradition” really means and how to communicate with the contemporary audience to connect the old and the new. From 2000 to 2010, she was a principle member of the Contemporary Gugak Orchestra at the National Gugak Center, the hub for training and preserving Korean traditional music. Solidly trained in Jeongak (Korean classical court music) studied with JUNG Jae-Guk, the title holder of the Important Intangible Cultural Asset No, 46 for piri and daechwita. gamin also studied sinawi (the music of shaman rituals), as well as sanjo (improvisational solo genre).

According to the music director of the National Changgeuk [Korean Traditional Opera] Company, You Yeong-dae, “Gamin’s music is “free-spirited in restrain, delicate in bluntness, and sorrow in bliss.” gamin has been active not only as a soloist, but as a performer in chamber ensembles, as well as soloist for many concertos performing with some of the most prestigious orchestras in Korea, such as the Contemporary Gugak Orchestra, KBS Traditional Orchestra, Gyeonggi Provincial Traditional Music Orchestra, and Seoul Metropolitan Youth Orchestra.

The musical scope of gamin expands widely from quintessential traditional repertoires of Korean music, crossover genres, and contemporary music to improvisational performances introduced in live performances and recordings both in Korea and overseas.

gamin has released three albums: “Attraction,” the first album made to popularize the piri for the general public; “Juxtaposition” explores the harmony between piri, saenghwang (mouth organ, sheng in Chinese) and taepyeongso (double-reed trumpet-like horn) with marimba; and the third album, “Progression” contains more progressive contemporary music that features various instruments including piano and synthesizer. Her recent project, “Eight Sounds,” utilizes a museum-like design as a means to express her artistic vocabulary combining the sounds of piri, saenghwang, and taepyeongso with synthesizer, fashion and video art. Yoon Jung-gang, a renowned music critic, acclaimed that “the museum became the place of deep enchantment transcending the time and space by the music of Gamin.”

Dreaming to be on the upscale global stages, gamin has been a recipient of several cultural exchange programs. She was a recipient of a residency program grant from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of Republic of Korea in 2011 and has toured for lecture concerts at Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Dartmouth College, Northeastern University, University of Hartford, and among other places. During her residency in New York City Gamin gave a solo recital at Bennett Media Studio and recorded improvisational works with some of the prestigious musicians in New York City. Stepping forth, she has been invited by governmental organization of France and Germany and performed in Paris, Strasbourg, Freiburg and Karlsruhe in 2011. gamin recently appeared in Cross-Cultural Improvisation, Workshops & Performances in New York City collaborating with some of the world-acclaimed musicians, such as Jane Ira Bloom, Elliott Sharp, and others, with a premier performance at the Roulette Theater in 2013. gamin has been received numerous awards and prizes from some of the most prestigious music competitions, including the Nangye Gugak Competition in 1993, Dong-A

Gugak Competition in 1996, WCO in 2004 and the New Artist's Award from the Korean Art Performers Association in 2006.

Currently, she is Yisuja, official holder of the Important Intangible Cultural Asset No. 46 for Classical Court Music, Piri and Daechita (royal military music). In addition to her artistic endeavor, she dedicates herself to academic studies. She is a Ph.D candidate in Korean traditional music at Seoul National University, and writes her own column for the magazine, “Arts and Culture.”

Most recently gamin has been selected as Artist-in-Residence sponsored by the Asian Cultural Council (ACC) of Rockefeller Foundation, and scheduled to be appeared in Flushing Town Hall, Korean Cultural Service NY.

*yisuja is a title designated to someone who mastered a course study in a intangible cultural asset of Korea. jeonsuja is a lower title.

*Bennett Media Studio is a destination of major TV, film, and photo shoots located in New York. It organizes art exhibition and live performances as well.

gamin was invited to perform in 2011 and 2012. You can see her performance video at http://bennettmediastudio.com/blog/?s=gamin
