Who is the percussion group 'Olssu'?
Special features of the work of 'Olssu'
'Olssu''s works are creating a collective 'Shin Myung - the state of being in high spirits, enthusiastic and merry'- by lifting up the high spirits to the maximum through beating actions by using not only Korean traditional instruments but also diverse instruments including western instruments and self-made percussions. The audiences are becoming one community pleasantly all together through this process.
Constantly growing 'Olssu' under the banner that our folk song fits the global one the most.
'Olssu' is a group created in 1992 in order to spread Korean traditional art, 'Pung mul no ri'. 'Pung mul no ri' is a creative and excellent Korean traditional art which comprises instrumental
play, dance, song, play, and even dramatic elements, and also expresses well the Korean unique 'Shin Myung - the state of being in high spirits, enthusiastic and merry' – and community spirit.
'Olssu' is a professional percussion group based in 'Pung mul no ri‘ who experiments and creates various stages to let all ages and countries from the East to the West can enjoy with us.

Introduction of 'Olssu's works
1. 'Modeum-buk' and 'Samulnori'
Combining made drums which sound magnificent and diverse sounds with Samulnori, the Korean traditional
percussion quartet, whose in-depth perfection is already recognized internationally, 'Olssu''s works
display well Korean unique musical characters repeating tensions and relaxations.
The sound of gong symbolizing the thunder sound, a janggu, a double-headed drum pinched
in at the middle, expressing wind sound, and drum sound reminding of floating wind get
joined together with made drums symbolizing the earth's crying. And these sounds
express the kaleidoscope change of nature and slow but fast, fast but slow
percussion rhythm.
In kaleidoscope and diverse rhythms and explosive sound,
and in dynamic movements of players, anyone can fully
feel Korean 'Shin Myung - the state of being in high
spirits, enthusiastic and merry' and charm.

2. TAGO ( 打鼓 ) This work, newly created by 'Olssu', is composed mainly of magnificent and powerful drum sounds.
'Beating drums', which uses 'Daebuk'-the biggest drum in Korean drums and 'Tongbuk'-which is possible to play variati
ons, shows the merits of powerful drum sounds as well as awakens the audience's dormant inspiration by
deep resonance which Korean drums have.
While the first part emphasizes the resonance of drums, the latter half is
composed mainly of the players' movements using a gong,
a janggu(a double-headed drum pinched in
at the middle), a drum which make the
performance dynamic and passionate.

4. Story
As the tiled tells, this work is made by conversations
between performers and audiences.
With binary time beats which is easy for
everyone to move the body and a wit which
make the audiences laugh, this work gives
fun and sympathy.
The audiences feel another catharsis participating
in the performance with performers without noticing.

5. the way of Music This work will make you feel the sublime dynamics from using 16 made drums and 3 'Daebuks'-the biggest drum in Kor
ean drums. Because the sublime comes not only from big scale but also from explosive sound.
The sound from 3 'Deabuks' is solemn enough to resonate on the ground, making the perfect harmony with made dru
m's dynamic movements.
Adding 'Taepyongso', which is the only melodical instrument in 'Pungmulnori', this work lifts 'Shin Myung' up to the max
imum and make the audiences enjoy the players' great personal techniques and flourish movements.
