Listen carefully to the music that echoes from Land of the Morning Light far away.
Based on the beautiful melodies unique to Korea, the Land of the Morning Light soundtrack
blends modern instruments with refined yet traditional charm. Shall we enjoy it?
Black Desert OST - Land of the Morning Light - Part 1. Meditation
Part 1. Meditation consists of elegant, relaxing gugak. For those seeking a moment of peace and relaxation to escape the busy city life, this music elicits a serene and relaxing atmosphere. And those who love gugak will feel pride in this melody as Adventurers around the world experience the beauty of Korea through traditional music.
Black Desert OST - Land of the Morning Light - Part 2. Fright
We chose "Fright" to express a tradition among Koreans to beat the blazing summer heat. They not only use the "chills" from watching horror films, but also from eating refreshing fruits in a breezy gazebo and dipping their feet in the cool waters of a valley. Listen to the frightful melodies from the Land of the Morning Light that are sure to send chills down your spine.
Black Desert OST - Land of the Morning Light- Part 3. County
Part 3. County is a soundtrack comprised of melodies that convey the stories of the Land of the Morning Light denizens. Experience labor music sung by farmers, the lively rhythm of the bustling county, and peaceful tunes of the Land of the Morning Light in this project’s 3rd chapter.
Black Desert OST - The Land of the Morning Light - Part 4. Simgeum
The term "Simgeum (心琴)" metaphorically refers to the mind that moves subtly according to external stimuli.
Part 4. Simgeum is designed to offer an immersive experience of the lively and diverse aspects of Korean culture, beauty, and people that are found within the Land of the Morning Light. Immerse yourself in the diverse and captivating experiences of exploring the Land of the Morning Light through the emotional sounds of the Kkwenggwari that resonate in calmness, the melodious sound of the Gayageum that flows beautifully, and the dynamic sounds of the Daegeum and the Taepyeongso
Black Desert OST - The Land of the Morning Light - Part 5. Samulnori
The fifth composition of the 6-part Land of the Morning Light soundtrack, "Samulnori", was birthed by studying the rhythm of the beautiful traditional Korean Samulnori music and reiterating it with computer music
"Samulnori," which can be directly translated to "the play of four objects", uses four percussion instruments where each represents a facet of nature: the "kkwaenggwari" as thunder, the "janggu" as rain, the "buk" as clouds, and the "jing" as wind.
As this genre is rhythmically based and devoid of melody, the resulting music is both exuberant and emotionally charged, is sometimes deeply profound, and conveys a raw sense of humanity throughout.
This Samulnori music will be used within a variety of "Land of the Morning Light" content, such as in cutscenes and combat.
✔︎ Pungmulnori: Pungmulnori, used in cutscenes and the Storybook, was edited and restructured using Samulnori instruments.
✔︎ Samulnori- Samdo Nongak Garak: Created for combat music by selecting and rearranging certain melodies of the "Samdo Nongak Garak", which combines the Pungmul Garak (traditional rhythmic pattern of Korean percussion) of three Korean provinces.
✔︎ Utdari Pungmul: Features the complete performance of "Utdari Pungmul", which integrates the traditional music of the Gyeonggi, Gangwon, and Chungcheong provinces.
