All Living Things

Take a deep breath and step forward, consciously, into an ordinary morning.

Feel the ground beneath your feet and the life in your body, through the movement of your limbs.

All Living Things begins with this:

a singular connection to the earth that with awareness becomes a connection to all things;

the cycles and continuities of life that help to process feelings of uncertainty with hope.

앞으로 나아갈 힘이 부족할 때 다시 한번 크게 숨을 쉬어 본다.

별것 아닌 일 같지만 이내 몸이 움직이고 있다는 것을 느끼며,

이 땅에 발을 디디고 숨 쉬며 살아가 고 있다는 것만으로도 감사하게 느껴지는 어느 평범한 아침의 순간을 기억한다.

이 음반은 그렇게 시작되었다.

땅에 닿아 있고, 땅과 연결된 모든 것들에 대한 이야기다.

탄생, 성장, 성숙, 쇠퇴, 죽음으로 이어지는 끝이 있지만 끝이 없는

삶의 순환과 연속성에 대한 희망 과 아름다운 여정을 담았다.

Album Review

"Effortlessly straddles ambient and modern classical...the Korean composer’s fourth album calls to mind Björk, Philip Glass and more as traditional instruments and electronic touches evoke the rhythms of life." ★★★★☆ -The Observer

"… Wonder at the natural world has been an inspiration for musicians for as long as there has been music, but the mournful, realist shade to Park’s work makes that wonder all the more resonant and poignant now.” -The Wire: Adventures In Modern Music

“An artist comfortable in her own skin, building an enchanted sound world that is hers alone." ★★★★☆ -MOJO

“Though Park Jiha employs electronic means to embellish her pieces, it's her yanggeum, a hammered dulcimer, teasing out "Grounding"'s gentle melodies and hypnotising us with a metallic tapping throughout "Breathe Again"s gentle breeze. Her saenghwang, a traditional reeded mouth organ, is similarly haunting, centre stage on the bittersweet "Blown Leaves" and swooping playfully on "A Story Of Little Birds”. It's certainly life well lived.” 8/10 -Uncut Magazine

"Park Jiha continues to mine rich vein of Korean tradition, which she filters through a contemporary aesthetic. This is not fusion, but wonderfully original and beguiling exploration of a musical world in which sound, timbre, and form evoke the world of nature." ★★★★☆ -theartsdesk.com

"All Living Things will deliver a sense of peace and subtle beauty that is not easy to find these days." 9/10 -Ravno Do Dna
