K-Music Festival in collaboration with Serious and Stone Nest.
Park Jiha stunned audiences and critics alike with her Glitterbeat albums Communion and Philos.
‘Jiha’s music expresses as much emotion as words could convey’ (★★★★ Guardian)
‘With one foot in traditional Korean music, and another in modern iterations of minimalism and ambient, Park Jiha created hypnotic streams of sound’ (The Wire)
‘Pushing at the boundaries of traditional and contemporary, Park Jiha creates absolute lucidity when she wants to and complete disorientation when she does not’ (The Quietus)
She now returns with third Glitterbeat release Gleam, which takes its inspiration from the beauty of the movement of light.
'Park Jiha has a foot in jazz and drone, but her new album might be better described as “slow music”, making art illuminating our organic relationship with passing time' (8/10 Uncut)
'Packed with moments of intense reflection, with melodies straddling the ancient and modern, The Gleam confirms Jiha as a singular talent' (★★★★ Mojo)
'The Gleam continues Park Jiha’s solo expedition into experimental Korean neoclassical braindance. She plays all the instruments herself – piri, saenghwang, yanggeum and glockenspiel – overdubbing multiple parts to build songs that shimmer with levels and degrees of light' (The Wire)
