A workshop on hohup, an embodied cyclical rhythm concept from Korean drumming.
Chris Hale is an electric bass player who is active in contemporary jazz and improvisation. As faculty member of the Australian Art Orchestra's Creative Music Intensive, Hale has taught a breathing and movement method for creating rhythm from called hohup alongside master Korean musicians. This workshop involves an introduction to hohup, and some of its key principles of embodied motion, constant flow and gravity within a cyclical approach to rhythm. Through kinaesthetic awareness of others, rhythms that would be considered advanced in Western music theory frameworks become easy to execute.
