Jena Jang

Jena Jang (Yeaeun Jang) is a Korean experimental musician, performer, and DIY instrument builder based in Prague and Seoul. The practice combines noise, improvised vocals, and self-built electronics into body-driven performances exploring emotional release, transformation, and the connection between human and non-human worlds.

Centred on the concept of “Necrocore”, the work channels raw energy and vulnerability to create immersive situations where sound, movement, and technology interact. Using hand-soldered, battery-powered circuits and open-source synthesisers, the projects experiment with circuit bending, hybrid acoustic–electronic setups, and unconventional sound objects. The ongoing Tupperware Synthesiser series reimagines childhood nostalgia through hacked lunchbox instruments, while the Hairdryer Performance transforms domestic memories into sonic rituals of care and intensity.

Beyond live sets, the practice includes DIY synthesiser workshops and sound research projects, encouraging accessible, playful engagement with sound, electronics, and the physical experience of listening.
