JENA JANG
Jena Jang (born Yeaeun Jang) is a South Korean audiovisual artist currently based in Prague, Czechia, actively working across Europe and Asia. Their recent work delves into the artistic exploration of trauma healing through frequency-based rituals, blending harsh noise, power electronics, drone, chanting, and intense screaming.
They build and perform with the self-made Tupperwave Synthesiser series—handcrafted from recycled materials—and continue developing DIY instruments inspired by healing music and traditional ritual practices from diverse cultural contexts. These ideas are further examined in the ongoing PhD research project, Contemporary Art of Healing (2019–), which theorises the relationship between experimental sonic practices and trauma transformation.
The artist defines this unique sound as Necrocore—an alternative sonic medicine for trauma recovery that purges pain and summons a warrior spirit through cathartic, high-intensity performance. The creative process fuses experimental sound with modern reinterpretations of Buddhist chanting, yogic breathwork, throat singing, pansori, samulnori, and Korean shamanic ritual, generating a ghostly resonance that haunts and heals. More than a performance, it becomes a ritual act of energetic cleansing—for both artist and audience—inviting real transformation through embodied release.
Recent achievements include a landmark performance at Cafe OTO in London, presented by the respected label Chinabot, in collaboration with Saadet Türköz. Chinabot also featured Jang’s one-hour mix on Radio Alhara, later broadcast via Radio Lora in Zurich. In 2024, Jang joined a collaborative residency at MeetFactory (CZ) with bela (DE/KR) and Mvd0ae (MX/CZ). Previous highlights include a 2023 performance with Udasi (FI) and Mia Zabelka (AT) at the Ars Electronica festival in Linz as part of the Contingent Snapshot event.
