The award winners of AVIMA 2009 have been announced and congratulations are in place to Jang Sei Yong – who took home the “Best Instrumental” category with his One Day on Moon (which can be streamed from MySpace). The full winners list is available here, and if you read the press info carefully enough you’ll find my name listed among the main judges (I’m not quite sure when that became official or I would’ve told you first ^^). Competition was tough with plenty of excellent music to explore in several genres, but this being a blog for Korean music and all I’ll stop at recommending a new favorite alt rock track of mine: the somewhat Placebo reminiscent Empires fom UAE’s Juliana Down.
