site update: discography

Han-earl Park — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 23:21:52 +0000

In anticipation of the upcoming release of ‘Numbers’ (CS 201 cd) with Richard Barrett, I’ve updated my discography page. In addition to the usual changes, I’ve now divided the page between physical and download releases, and anthologies.

All artwork and cover graphics copyright their respective owners. ‘Numbers’ (CS 201 cd) CD cover © 2012 Creative Sources Recordings. ‘Live at the Glucksman gallery, Cork’ CD cover © 2009 Jamie Smith/Owlhouse Recordings.

CD store closed (for the moment…)

Han-earl Park — Wed, 18 May 2011 11:39:32 +0000

I’ve shut the CD store because of the move back to the United States. I plan to reinstate the purchase option, but I can’t say when at the moment. Some of these CDs are available from other sources, and these are indicated below.

Special thanks to Ian Smith for the scheming and pre-performance guidance, and to Charles Hayward, Lol Coxhill and Ian who reminded me how much I’ve got to learn—I was performing in the presence of giants. Thanks to Fritz Welch, Lin Zhang of Grind Sight Open Eye, and Jamie Smith of Owlhouse Recordings for organizing the events (and feeding this itinerant musician), and to Stills Gallery, and Hamish Dunbar and Keiko Yamamoto at Cafe OTO for hosting the performances.

Kudos to all the musicians who were involved, in particular Neil Davidson and Sean Williams for two memorable duos; EdImpro for their generosity and sense of fun; Shiori Usui and Lin for the Asian noise; Jamie, Lee Allatson and Oliver Betts for the high-volume rock-out; and Heddy Boubaker for sharing the first leg of the trip.

Last but not least, thanks to all who came to listen/watch—it was a pleasure to share the journey.

Han-earl Park — Sat, 12 Sep 2009 18:22:10 +0000

‘Live at the Glucksman gallery, Cork’ CD cover

Bruce Lee Gallanter of the Downtown Music Gallery has some nice things to say about the Park-Dunmall-Sanders-Smith CD [More info on this recording…]. Here’s, for example, is his take on the Park-Sanders duet:

Careful, crafty and well-played with that restrained yet fractured guitar that sounds so good. Han-Earl sound seems to be in between Derek Bailey & Philip Gibbs.
