Blood Quartet & Dongyang Gozupa

Blood Quartet (Barcelona) and Dongyang Gozupa (Seoul) join forces as a septet to bring Terra Ignota to life — a musical project that transcends borders and genres. This artistic collaboration creates a sonic universe projected into a science-fiction realm, where Korean musical tradition dialogues with sound experimentation, alternative rock, free jazz, electronics and ambient atmospheres.

The project emerges from the reinterpretation of previous compositions by both bands, as well as new works created during shared artistic residencies in Seoul (Seoul Music Week) and Barcelona (Fabra i Coats: Art Factory). Terra Ignota is a living work, built from the fusion of traditional instruments such as the yanggeum (Korean dulcimer) with Mark Cunningham’s dreamlike trumpet and Blood Quartet’s cinematic narrative.

Improvisation and the pursuit of a transcendence of cultural origins drive this musical and visual co-creation.

The show unfolds as a sensorial experience inspired by Eastern sonorities and the mystery of rhythmic effects, blending electronics, analogue instrumentation and visual scenography in an unusual combination.
