Why is Music an Essential Part of Life?

The critically acclaimed documentary, "Intangible Asset No. 82" reveals this without implicitly telling us the answer. We discover it through a viewer's participation in Australian jazz drummer Simon Barker's quest to find an elusive Korean shamanic drummer. After hearing a recording, Barker made a commitment to find and learn from the master drummer. Yet despite his official designation as one of South Korea's cultural treasures or "82nd intangible asset," Kim Seok-Chul remained elusive. Barker's seven year journey becomes a rite of passage, as he has meaningful encounters with the engaging and eclectic characters who will eventually lead him to the enigmatic shaman only days before the master's death.
