Ancestral Modernism (Previous name: So New-So Old, So Far-So Near) is an international concert-project founded in 2014.  The vision is to unite visionary artists in different expertise to offer audiences deep, primordial, and timeless experiences by juxtaposing percussion music in different genres of the highest quality. In a very short time the project has blossomed internationally in Denmark, Sweden, Korea, and Taiwan with a total around 50performance, including performances in LMS school concerst, Aarhus Festuge, Weiyuying Art Festival in Taiwan, G((o))ng Tomorrow Festival, Copenhagen World Music Festival, and National Gugak Center in Korea.

Ancestral Modernism's
goal is to dissolve human's limited and conditioned understanding about time, genre, and nationality by having audiences listening to primal percussive sound in different expressions. 
We believe that every human longs to be touched by the primordial sound, because it is our metaphysical home.
