Han-earl Park“Nautiloid capsule tumbles
across field lines.
An impracticably agile,
graceful derailment.”
Recorded four years ago today!

I’m honored to have worked with Lara and Pat on this album Proxemics (you will not find a nicer bunch of trouble-makers), and very proud of the noise we achieved. #juno3

DISTORTIONS: improvised music + moving images (Berlin, 14–15.11.2025) #avantgarde #experimentalmusic
“Park’s one of the most compelling, noisy, and simultaneously humorous and challenging guitarists around… Jones and Thomas are wonderfully simpatico… This is just a radically exciting album…” #juno3 https://leericeepstein.substack.com/p/this-year-was-a-decade
A behind-the-scenes, partial mix breakdown of #juno3: Proxemics.
Folk have asked me about my mix strategies in approaching experimental and improvised musics, and here’s a little window into how I approached some of the problematics* in this one. I’ve said that, in regards to Proxemics, there’s a different album that lives in parallel, and that’s partly because there’s separate mix (with its own automation and processing) in the bass/subs. #thingsidoforart https://youtu.be/m1pCAIB_Tok
Juno 3: Proxemics, a mix breakdown
“I pause here to note that, as the Asian-Black-Queer trio, Juno 3 might be the very definition of DEI.”
Partly in reponse to the statement: “There’s a whole lot of shit (one of them being DEI) that is being focused on that has very little if anything to do with the music itself.” #juno3 https://substack.com/@hanearlpark/note/c-181848982
