For those who were interested in our “The Music of Jo Hyeja” project, a trailer has just gone live on Youtube.com. Here it is: If you like it, feel free to pop over to Youtube and give it a thumbs-up, a nice comment, or whatever. We have a lot more in store, so you might also want to subscribe to the channel. (Which may be familiar to some of you out there…) By the way, the official page for the film, and our little “production company,” is over here. You can see our previous project there as well.

I have gotten so much done in the last couple of weeks that it simply isn’t funny: the semi-final draft of an article with a swiftly approaching deadline the final draft of a new short story submitted to Bibliotheca Fantastica a revision of the subtitles for our film, “The Music of Jo Hyeja” But there’s a lot left to do too, especially grading. owever, I’m tempted to take tommorrow off just for housecleaning and reading a novel, some novel, any novel, along with one nonfiction book on Pound; I never get enough reading done during semesters, and I’m eager to …

The last mention I made of this project was to note that we’d done some recording with the haegeum player from the band 잠비나이 for the soundtrack. Since then, I’ve been off and on constructing music tracks from samples — both of the haegeum, and of other sounds I collected over a 48 hour period: water going down a drainpipe, the hum of car engines, growling, and so on. As of right now, my work on the audio is done except for one step: the audio post-production work, which we’re scheduled to do on Friday at a studio. (I’ll have …
