“Guitarist Han-earl Park is a musical philosopher…. Expect unexpected things from Park, who is a delightful shape-shifter….” — Brian Morton (Point of Departure)

Shifting and switching from No Wave skronk to interstellar guitarist-as-drummer virtuosity, from stampedes of miniature Pomeranian Buffalos to All-You-Zombies heterophonies, Han-earl Park (박한얼) has been performing beautifully messy, joyously difficult, ambiguous and discordant improvised musics for over twenty years.

Park is the mastermind behind ensembles including Eris 136199 with Catherine Sikora and Nick Didkovsky; Juno 3 with Lara Jones and Pat Thomas; and Gonggong 225088 with Yorgos Dimitriadis and Camila Nebbia; and performs as part of a duo with Richard Barrett. His ensembles have appeared at festivals including Jazz em Agosto (Lisbon), EFG London Jazz Festival, Brilliant Corners (Belfast), Freedom of the City (London), ISIM (New York), dialogues festival (Edinburgh) and Sonic Acts (Amsterdam). Park’s recordings have been released by labels including NEWJAiM, Ramble Records, SLAM Productions, Creative Sources and DUNS Limited Edition.

“A colorful, sometimes violent and revelatory listening experience that infuses modern aesthetics with the spirit of the ancient…. Ancient and primordial with ideas as open as the night sky….” — John Morrison (Jazz Right Now)

“Park… may just have the specter of drumming giant Rashied Ali guiding his hands. His fingers, palms and wrists tirelessly bounce, skitter, smear, stroke, strum, hammer-on, pull-off and thump his solid-body electric. Considering the rapidity of his technique, the effect is not simply percussive, but utterly drumkit-like and a liberated kit at that….” — John Pietaro (The New York City Jazz Record)

“Insubordinately Sublime” -Inigo Wilkins about recent concerts
Here you find songs, sounds and radiofeatures I arrange and produce myself and some I speak and sing for. Situated between postindustrial, sonic jokes and experimental pop-punk.
***ALBUM: https://jcdecaux.bandcamp.com/album/watch-close  ***

I am an artist living and working between London and Berlin and on tour.
Studied post-dramatic theatre and theory/philosophy with a focus on soundart: at ATW Gießen at Heiner Goebbels, Felix Kubin u.o. and as a guest contemporary dance&choreography at CNSMD Lyon.
I love words and sounds, write for theater and run a theatre company putting up music performances. I work with electronic and analog sounds, homemade instruments, voice(s) and fieldrecording. I direct contemporary classical concerts, live radioplays, music for theatre and soundinstallations.
Here on soundcloud you can find some tracks, sketches and experiments.  
 enjoy listening-

When you click on the songtitles you can see more infos about the pieces.
below are links to CV etc. feel free to have a look around, see you in real life.

about the album "Watch Close":
picadilly records writes: "...sounding a little like an Eccentronic Research Council meets Raymond Scott’s Mahattan Research Inc meets Cluster, this is a collection of poetry, electronics and improvisation woven together like a tapestry and drawing you in like a tense but beautifully shot thriller. Clangers-esque theramin sine tones, ethnic percussion, multi-lingual poetry, mangled strings – a plethora of idents from an all manner of subversive stylings. This is brilliant!"

boomcat writes: "...blur the lines between poetry and tone poem, with Manchester’s answer to Peter Pan coaxing out a gauzy spectrum of eccentric small sounds, lopped beats and radiophonic quarks.."

In 2016 my work was played at Tilde Festival for soundart Melbourne, Radio NY, live concert&interview on BBC Wales, concerts at Oriel-Sycharth Wales, New River Studios London, The Others London, Sonic Arts Forum London, Radio futuresound.fm.
