If you missed Park Jiha’s UK tour earlier this year, worry not: there’s a second chance to see her in October this year as she joins the 2025 K-music Festival programme:
K-music 2025: Park Jiha -- All Living Things
The acclaimed composer and multi-instrumentalist returns with her latest album All Living Things: Park Jiha‘s fourth album is a radiant sonic meditation on the textures, rhythms, and quiet power of the living world.
At the K-Music Festival, Park showcases her mastery of traditional Korean instruments: the piri (a double-reed bamboo oboe), saenghwang (a free-reed mouth organ), and yanggeum (a hammered dulcimer). These are intricately woven together with contemporary sonics and electronics, with deeply personal compositions. The result is a soundscape that defies genre at once post-classical, ambient, and cinematic – yet entirely her own.
Since debuting with Communion in 2018, Park has released Philos (2019), The Gleam (2022) and All Living Things (2025) on Tak:til / Glitterbeat Records – exploring sound as a form of breathing. Her work includes a BBC-recorded collaboration with poet Roy Claire Potter and her film scoring debut for Garth Davis’ Foe (2023).
