동해안별신굿

Kim Seok-chul’s 동해안별신굿 (Donghae-an Byeolsin Gut) documents a regional shamanic ritual tradition from Korea’s east coast, released through Seoul Records. This field recording captures the percussive intensity and vocal incantations of gut—a ceremonial practice steeped in Korea’s pre-Buddhist spiritual heritage. The raw, unmediated sound preserves both the sacred context and the improvisational energy of the performance, making it essential listening for anyone interested in Korean ethnomusicology and traditional ritual music.
