Whether you're looking for soothing ambient compositions or energetic electronic beats, Tak:Til has something for everyone. Their carefully curated roster includes *artists* who are known for pushing boundaries and creating innovative soundscapes.

Park Jiha’s debut album ”Communion” - released internationally by tak:til last year - drew well deserved attention to the young Korean multi-instrumentalist / composer’s vivid soundworld. 

Her new album “Philos”- which she calls an evocation of her ”love for time, space and sound”- is every bit as inventive, elegant and transcendent as her debut. The 8 tracks in this album convey sounds created by such various musical instruments Park Jiha plays as the piri, saenghwang and yanggeum, as well as layers of sounds derived from time and space. [Philos] is a culmination of Park Jiha’s continuous endeavor through different times without collaborating with other musicians.

The tracks include ‘Arrival’ that marks the arrival and beginning of every sound featured in the album; the gift of unexpected rain in the heat of midsummer in ‘Thunder Shower’; ‘Easy’ a poem written and recited by the Lebanese artist Dima El Sayed who visited Korea in 2015 to participate in the HwaEom Spiritual Music Ritual and was inspired by Park Jiha’s work; the totle track ‘Philos’ created by overlapping sounds over a long period of time.
