Park Jiha - All Living Things

Creative and singular--Pitchfork

The beauty of Jiha's work lies in the spaces she leaves to evoke imaginative moments in the listener--The Guardian

Park Jiha, the acclaimed Korean composer/multi-instrumentalist, makes patient, immersive music; music that illuminates the essence and texture of the natural, living world.

On her fourth album, 'All Living Things' (out 14 February 2025), her mastery of Korean traditional instruments (the piri, saenghwang and yanggeum)is intricately woven with deeply personal compositions and a deft use of contemporary sonics. Terms like post-classical, ambient or even cinematic are useful, entry-level tags, but they only scratch the surface of this album's shimmering, contemplative soundworld.
