Philos
by Park Jiha
Serving as her highly anticipated sophomore release, the virtuosic South Korean composer entirely abandons her jazz backing band to record a completely solo, intensely intimate album. She meticulously loops and layers her own performances on traditional acoustic instruments (such as the piri, saenghwang, and yanggeum), crafting incredibly sparse, highly meditative post-minimalist soundscapes. It functions as a breathtakingly beautiful, deeply focused exploration of solitude and acoustic space.
