About

kuyin is a label from Stockholm, Sweden. The label name comes from the words  苦吟 (kǔyín), and  苦音 (kǔyīn); the former a term used by Buddhist poets to describe their religio-poetic practice, and the latter a theoretical term denoting the 'melancholy tone' caused by microtonal inflections. The term kuyin thus captures the two focuses of this label: contemplative music with strong connections to meditative states—music as a form of spiritual practice–, and music that focuses on subtle shades of microtonal inflections.
