JIHA PARK - CD COMMUNION

Popis - COMMUNION:
The compositions on 'Communion' are sometimes hushed and other times slowly swelling and dynamic. But they all share a stark rejection of ornamentation. It is a music of fundaments and clarity. It skillfully unites hypnotic minimalism and experimental strategies with Park Jiha's distinctive mastery of the piri (double reed flute), saenghwang (mouth organ), and yanggeum (hammered dulcimer). Her music combines the formalism of classical minimalism, the rootedness of Korean folk motifs and the dynamics of post-rock and contemporary jazz. A calm from within the storm.
