Miki Yui
Artist / composer from Tokyo, based in Duesseldorf, Germany.
With her background in fine art, Miki Yui explores the grey zones of our perception and imagination, in the fields of music, drawing, installation and performance. Her works are shown in Europe and in Asia.
Since 1999 she is known for her unique minimalistic and organic approach. From a delicate tiny hiss to a distant hum, electronic sounds and field recordings are woven into music with a narrative tension, that are subtle references to existents.
Her 7th solo album “APERIO!” is released from Hallow Ground in September 2020. She has collaborated with Klaus Dinger (NEU!) , Rolf Julius, Carl Stone and Asmus Tietchens.
She plays her uniquely mysterious and minimalistic abstract music with sounds from synthesizer, sampler and noises, that reveals the beauty of emptiness, the phenomena of co-existence and resonances in life.
