Intangible

Intangible is a boundary-pushing ensemble that explores sound through overtones, sustained tones, extremes of register, density, and unconventional instrumental techniques. The group’s name reflects the expertise of reed player gamin, a master of Korean traditional music and an official bearer of an Intangible Cultural Asset, as designated by the Korean government. Beyond traditional music, gamin has collaborated with American and European improvisers and performed as a soloist with Western orchestras, premiering concerti for Korean reeds.

Saxophonist Robert Reigle, bassist Jeff Schwartz, and percussionist Tim Feeney bring diverse influences, engaging with scored, improvised, traditional, experimental, and popular genres. Collectively, they have studied and performed with master musicians from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, enriching the ensemble’s multicultural sound.

Together, Intangible creates a unique, immersive experience that blends global traditions and contemporary experimental practices, reimagining boundaries and crafting music that is both innovative and rooted in cultural depth.
