bela – The Sage
From bela’s album ‚Noise and Cries 굉음과 울음‘ released on Subtext Recordings & Unsound on April 12th, 2024.
‚Noise and Cries (굉음과 울음)‘ is the first time bela has recorded their voice, and they metamorphose it from moment to moment, embracing a precarious vulnerability. Opener ‚The Sage‘ references Jungtaryeong, two well-known arias from the Korean pansori tradition – a folk form that is usually performed by a drummer and a singer. Screaming, whispering and rasping, bela twists borrowed words from the original arias, repurposing them to highlight the hypocrisy and brutality of patriarchal wisdom.
