Phew
Since the beginning of the 2010s, she has
released a series of works that combine voice and electronic music, and
has gained international recognition as an electronic artist in the
experimental music scene. The albums “Japan’s underground legend”
(Pitchfork) created over the last 40 years have gone from record store
rarities to being included on many “best of” lists. She has worked with
New York producers and bassists Bill Laswell and Jim O'Rourke, with the
Japanese underground supergroup Novo Tono, with Seiichi Yamamoto (ex.
Boadams) or with Ana da Silva from the London Raincoats, among others.
Recently she recorded an album with the Berlin artist Danielle de
Picciotto.
