Korean Factor formed in November, 2005. It is an “one-man” project, and this man is Yannis “Vril” Kamarinos. He is neither Korean, nor lives in Korea. But he is strongly influenced by the famous Asian nation. When he visited for the very first time Korea (Seoul and Busan, 2003) he came in (a little) touch with the underground scene. Anyway, Vril decided to form “Korean Factor”, as a side project of his main band “Forkys”. Using harder beats, techno and industrial sounds, more minimalist musical phrases and just a few samples mainly in Korean (and some in English) language, Korean Factor offers a rather “exotic” industrial sound for the European audience and a quite different approach of electronic music for the Asian audience. In January, 2006 the first promo cd-r has been released, including two tracks, which you can download them, for free. Since nowadays, eight songs are representatives of the upcoming release, under the title “CHE-IL GWA” (first lesson). Live shows have already take place in Athens (Greece). During the shows, pictures and videos from Korea are projected, an action already positively mentioned by the local funs. There is no an official web site.
