New album by the Berlin-based musician, composer, and producer
Midori Hirano
aka
MimiCof
, entirely recorded using the EMS Synthi 100 at Electronic Studio Radio Belgrade during an artist residency. Contemporary electronic music/ambient for the advanced listener. Midori Hirano is a Japanese musician, composer, and producer based in Berlin. She started learning the piano as a child and later studied classical piano at university. Therefore, the music she releases under her own name is based on the use of piano, but yet experimental and an eclectic mixture of modern digital sounds with subtle electronic processing and field recordings. So far, Hirano released seven solo albums under her civilian name on labels such as Sonic Pieces and DAUW. Under the moniker MimiCof she explores the realm of more experimental music and detailed rhythmic patterns, combined with an idea of drawing melodic shapes and harmonies. As MimiCof she has performed at prestigious festivals and events such as CTM, Heroines of Sound Festival, Boiler Room Berlin, and L.E.V. Festival, and was selected by
Frank Bretschneider
for the first volume of the
Sichten
compilation series on his raster label. Besides producing her own works, Hirano has composed music for dance performances, video installations and films which have been screened at Berlin International Film Festival, Krakow Film Festival, SXSW Film Festival and HongKong International Film Festival (among others) and remixed tracks by artists including
Rival Consoles
,
Foam And Sand
aka
Robot Koch
,
Liars
and
Pascal Schumacher
. While the last MimiCof album
Moon Synch
(N 057CD/LP, 2017) was recorded on the Buchla analog modular Synthesizer at EMS Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm, her latest effort
Distant Symphony
(the fourth as MimiCof) was created on a different synthesizer: the EMS Synthi 100 Synthesizer at Radio Belgrade. All sounds from this instrument were recorded as single sound samples at first, then mixed and modified into three long pieces of music, so that the audience can experience the machine's uniqueness and versatility of sound. Hirano understands this work as a gesture of respect for the Synthi 100's character: though a vintage instrument, it has never lost the beauty of its modern sound. 180 gram vinyl; includes download card.
