JENA JANG
Jena Jang (born:Yeaeun Jang), a South Korean audiovisual artist exploring vocal improvisation, experimental music, harsh noise, DIY instruments, and performance art, is currently based in Prague, Czechia. Expanding their stages worldwide, they embody a transcontinental artistic nomadism, navigating diverse sonic and cultural landscapes. Through high-pitched frequencies crafted with hand-built synthesizers, extended vocal improvisation, and power electronics, their work seeks to transform trauma and liberate the mind from anguish.
Jena defines their unique sound as Necrocore—an artistic practice and alternative sonic medicine for trauma healing. It is a sonic ritual that exorcises negative energy, channels a warrior spirit, and heals through raw, cathartic performance. Their work explores experimental noise as a sonic tool for trauma healing while integrating DIY electronic instrument-building as an extension of their sonic identity. Drawing deeply from Buddhist chanting, yogic breathwork, throat singing, and traditional Korean music forms such as Pansori, Samulnori, and Shamanic rituals, Jena’s performances embody spiritual warfare and liberation. Their sound is eerie and ghostly, at times unsettling—reminiscent of mourning cries for lost spirits—yet ultimately serves as an act of transformation and release.
Blurring the lines between experimental noise, industrial, and avant-garde performance, Necrocore is both an emotional purge and a radical healing process. Each performance is an unfiltered expression of sound’s capacity to heal, disrupt, and connect.
