Kim plays the komungo, a traditional Korean six-string zither similar to the Japanese koto. "She [Kim] joins forces with some of the music scene's most singular guitarists for a festival of clever, cruel and witty duets: Elliott Sharp's monster overtones, Derek Bailey's caustic minimalism, Henry Kaiser's brooding electric, Eugene Chadbourne's bluegrass-for-moderns banjo, and David First's whining, whiny slide (matched by her electric komungo). There are also two inspired solo improvs for solo komungo that exhibit Jin Hi Kim's amazing depth and range." CMJ New Music Report
