The search for an enigmatic South Korean shaman, and the inspiration found on the journey, renews a jazz musician's faith in the power of music.
Intangible Asset Number 82 tells the story of respected jazz drummer, Simon Barker, and his search for an elusive South Korean shaman and grandmaster musician. Simon’s journey becomes a rite of passage as he encounters engaging and exotic characters, and overcomes cultural obstacles and the march of time, to eventually meet the master only days before his death

We bear witness to the aesthetic and philosophical explorations one musician undertakes in search of the tools of self-expression, and the personal discoveries and transformations that result from the inspiration found along the journey. The film takes us inside the thoughts of a dedicated musician as he explores the tools of self expression. It is a road movie, a philosophical encounter, a showcase of fascinating musicians rarely heard outside of Korea, and a tribute to the universal language of music
