“All Living Things” is a tender and profound meditation on the miracle of life. It is suffused with reverence and gratitude for the chance to simply be a living being on this planet at this time. To be a part of the natural cycles of life. To belong in the universe. It"s an intimate sound portrait of what she calls "a hardly explainable sentiment of feeling alive."

Jiha writes: "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." Park Jiha explores this vision through idiosyncratic and deeply personal methods.

Like its critically acclaimed predecessors, Philos (2018) and The Gleam (2022), All Living Things features her playing every instrument, meticulously overdubbed and layered in the studio to create sumptuous sound worlds. She employs an array of Korean instruments - piri, yanggeum and the saenghwang - alongside flute, glockenspiel, bells, her voice and, most crucially, electronics.
