The latest album by Japanese artist Miki Yui, released on the Swiss label Hallow Ground. Based in Düsseldorf, Germany since 1994, Yui has been active across music and contemporary art, collaborating with Klaus Dinger of Neu! / La Düsseldorf, and more recently known for her unit Realistic Monk with Carl Stone as well as collaborations with Asmus Tietchens. The album comprises six pieces recorded in her home studio in Düsseldorf. Soft, floating drones and droplet-like electronic tones gently color the surrounding space, while delicate electrical signals slowly seep into the listener’s sense of touch. Throughout, Yui presents her signature form of subtle, body-conscious sonic music—remarkably gentle on both the ears and the body. This copy was obtained directly from the artist during her visit to Japan. Highly recommended.
