안국 by Wil Bolton
안국 (Anguk) is based around a single unedited field recording made near Anguk Station, Seoul, South Korea in April 2016. The sounds of construction work on an office block opposite the Jogyesa buddhist temple are layered with electric guitar, synthesizers, effects pedals and treated recordings of two antique bronze poong-gyung - Korean temple bells from a nearby street market. The photographs used for the inserts show fragments of the same area including the temple, urban architecture, lotus lanterns and cherry blossom.

Wil Bolton's work uses guitars, acoustic instruments, analogue and modular synthesizers and effects to create warm and emotive melodies, fragmented and submerged among beds of droning ambient textures and environmental sounds.
