Personnel

Larry Ochs: Soprano, tenor saxophones

KIHNOUA is a term borrowed from ancient Greek might have meant " the difference." This is a new ensemble formed by Larry Ochs in 2007 to play some new changes. A long-time fan of traditional korean p'ansori singing and of Korean sinawi improvisation, it is with great pleasure that we attempt to intermingle the very new thoughts, sounds and structures of " Western improvised music" with the very ancient sound of Korea and other folk-music influence from Asia, Africa and Europe. the band's core is Scott Amendola on drums and electronics, Dohee Lee on vocals with Ochs writing the compositions and playing saxophones. Guest musicians added to the band for performances include Zeena Parkins, Carla Kihlstedt, Joan Jeanrenaud, Willam Winant and Okkyung Lee.
