EOE 003: Edictum & Pashang 爬 - Bulgae 불개

EOE 003: Edictum & Pashang 爬 - Bulgae 불개

EOE 003: Edictum & Pashang 爬 - Bulgae 불개

At its core lies the phosphorescent-vinyl concept album, which summons  the enchantment of an ancient Korean legend: the origins of solar and  lunar eclipses are not merely recounted but recomposed. Edictum and  Pashang—two names that might seem incongruous at first—interweave their  compositional identities into a sound tapestry of breathtaking finesse.  The resonant depth of traditional gayageum and janggu rhythms contrasts  with subtly deployed synthesizer layers and contemporary electronic  beats: a daring venture that continuously unveils new horizons.
 

Particularly artful is the integration of the bilingual narration. The  Korean narrator’s voice—warm, almost songlike—stands in counterpoint to  the second voice in English, which advances the story with cool  precision. This alternation generates a constant tension: at times one is transported to an age-old temple hall, at  others to a modern audio drama studio. Here, dual-language narration  functions not as a mere stylistic flourish but as a meta-commentary on  the ambivalence inherent in cultural translation.
 

Equally compelling is Minz Cho’s gatefold illustration concept, far more  than decorative accompaniment. Each of the eight graphics opens a  visual gateway to a musically underscored scene: delicately drawn color  clouds, in which the specters of the legend hover, float before  abstracted ornaments. This conscious rupture with a purely East Asian  visual vocabulary was experienced in a pop-up exhibition at the Academy  of Fine Arts Vienna, during which the album’s music received its public  premiere in a DJ performance.
 

The audience witnessed a cultural metamorphosis in which every sonic  strand, every brushstroke, became a promise of creative collaboration.
 

“Bulgae” demonstrates how inter­cultural narratives can be reinvented  beyond exoticist folklore: as an all-encompassing sonic and graphic  Gesamtkunstwerk that does not conceal the fault lines between East and  West but instead makes them generative. It stands as an exemplar of an  era in which artistic collaboration is understood not as a mere formal  shorthand but as a creative imperative. To play this album is not only  to enter the soundscape of a distant land but—and this is the project’s  greatest achievement—to immerse oneself in an interactive web of myths,  melodies, and images that gently yet decisively challenge our own  perceptual habits.
 

The narration in English and Korean is exclusive to Bandcamp and Vinyl!

EOE 002: Edictum - A Cosmic Scale

EOE 003: Edictum & Pashang 爬 - Bulgae 불개

EOE 003: Edictum & Pashang 爬 - Bulgae 불개

The album’s title deftly gestures to the sheer vastness of astronomical  dimensions, while simultaneously capturing the musical breadth within,  where the eight planets are imagined as the eight notes of a scale. The  work draws inspiration not only from earlier compositions—most notably  Gustav Holst’s The Planets—but also from the rich astronomical and  cultural contexts surrounding these celestial bodies. Here, the focus  transcends direct citation of melodic motifs, instead embracing an  intriguing conceptual approach on a meta level, unfolding in a series of  vividly contrasting soundscapes. These contrasts shape a sweeping sonic  journey, one that fully embraces the album format with both arms,  inviting the listener to venture into realms both strange and wondrous,  feeling the immensity of the interstellar space that lies between them.  Contrast, after all, is the brushstroke that enriches our world.

We have come up with an unusual  new concept for an album to express our love for Italodisco. An album  that combines the themes of disco and anime fighter games. Get ready for  a martial arts dance off under the disco ball. But be careful! The  weapons of the dance floor are not claws and swords but a sense of  rhythm and hot passion. Here you win hearts and love, not violence and  pain!
