Midori Hirano - OTONOMA (2026) [Hi-Res]

The album OTONOMA by Berlin-based composer Midori Hirano represents a sophisticated synthesis of her classical training and years of electronic music experimentation under the MimiCof moniker. The title draws from the Japanese concepts of "sound" and "space," inviting the listener to traverse imaginary sonic rooms. The music blends piano harmonies with the limitless textural possibilities of analog and modular synthesizers. Hirano masterfully employs an impressionistic approach, transforming audio recordings into multilayered visual imagery. The album features a range of compositions, from minimalist solo piano pieces to complex electronic landscapes with drone elements. This work serves as the culmination of the artist's creative journey, embodying both architectural precision and emotional depth within a unified sensory experience.
