Description
MimiCof, AKA Midori Hirano, is a Berlin-based musician originally from Kyoto, Japan. A classically trained pianist since childhood, her music draws on her experiences with acoustic and stringed instruments, incorporating them into her subtle electronic productions. She has released five albums to date. In 2016, she released two works under her own name, exploring modern classical with electronics: _Minor Planet_, for the Sonic Pieces label, and _Time Unbox_, a collaboration with fellow Japanese artist Ytamo, which was self-released. As MimiCof, Hirano goes deeper into her electronic studies, focusing on rhythmic patterns and looping melodies. Her 2017 album, _Moon Synch_, is based on recordings from her residency at Stockholm’s EMS Elektronmusikstudion, where she fell in love with the Buchla synthesizer and its near-cosmic possibilities.
