Track 8

"Last Concert At Lowrise"

Previously unreleased

Artist statement:

This track was recorded at the farewell concert for Lowrise. Lowrise was a live music venue founded and run by 5 musicians and a writer in Mullae-dong, Seoul. They started Lowrise in 2011, but in less than 2 years the landlord wanted them to leave the building because of fierce complaints from the neighborhood about sound coming from there.

Park Daham, one of the founders of Lowrise and musicians in this recording, says:

"At first I felt bummed out because we wanted to maintain Lowrise for whole 2 years at least. But now when I think of it, I'm glad that we didn't make a fuss about closing. Noise music gig was a natural way to close Lowrise without promoting it as the last gig to bring many audiences. Still we had a good time."
