CloudsandClocks: deep dialogue

By Han-earl Park | Published: May 17, 2015

While reviewing ‘Anomic Aphasia’ (SLAMCD 559) by Han-earl Park, Catherine Sikora, Nick Didkovsky and Josh Sinton, Beppe Colli, writing in CloudsandClocks, is reminded of ‘io 0.0.1 beta++’ (SLAMCD 531): It was about four years ago that—totally by chance: I found the CD in my mailbox—I listened to guitarist Han-earl Park for the very first time. […]

JazzWord: AI in an improv session

By Han-earl Park | Published: January 22, 2012

CloudsandClocks: disciplina delle scelte

By Han-earl Park | Published: September 4, 2011
