Midori Hirano (@midorihirano) - Mirrors in Mirrors
 From the album “Mirrors in Mirrors”  [dpr002]

From the liner notes:  

If you stand between two mirrors facing each other, you’re faced with a curious and unique visual sensation – endlessly repeating reflections bounce off one another into an infinite, spiralling prism. Any movement from your vantage point derails the point of focus, and transforms the illusion in real-time before your eyes. Light bends, and with it, colours slip in and out of dominance, in an Escherism of endless space, despite no change to the dimensions you inhabit in that ever so concrete space between two mirrors. 

Midori Hirano speaks of “waning lights” and “edges blending into fog” as some of the sensory indicators inspiring Mirrors In Mirrors – her debut on Daisart – and these Impressionistic sentiments are deeply imbued within Hirano’s delicate, restrained compositions. The hallmarks of modern classical, electronica and ambient are adopted as an assemblage to explore nuanced tones and techniques less dictated by those stylistic underpinnings, perhaps somewhere hovering between – but never too far away – keenly aware of form and function.
 
An emphasis upon the piano is an immediate point of reference for placing Hirano’s work within a broader context, but important to point out is the subtle and careful use of synthesisers and effects processing throughout the record – sometimes providing a more detailed background terrain, sometimes taking centre stage. Whichever instrument she turns her hands to, Hirano has crafted a record with enough dedicated focus and space to allow the listener to immerse oneself in her devised temporal expanse, an Impressionistic liminal space of Mirrors in Mirrors. 

Written, produced, recorded and mixed by Midori Hirano in Berlin, Germany 2017-18. Mastered by Sean McCann of Recital Program. “Mirrors in Mirrors” comes in a  first edition of 200 x 12inch 145gm black vinyl (incl. download) with Pantone printed inner and outer sleeves designed by Jeroen Wille and Rudd Ruttens [ruttens-wille].

Midori Hirano - Beginning

Artist: Haji K.
Title: Black Against An Orange Line
Format: 12 inch vinyl, Digital
Release date: 25th of March 2020
Edition: 200

Introducing Black Against An Orange Line, the debut from Haji K. (aka Nico Niquo, Nico Callaghan). Pressed on 12inch black vinyl with Artwork by Emily Bramich. Mixed and Mastered by Ryu Yoshizawa.

Black Against An Orange Line consists of four long-form pieces that hover between classical instrumentation and digital synthesis. The album showcases a new dimension of Nico's work through a hybrid language of hazy, hypnotic Dub-Techno and vivid Drone. In touching on the Ambient and Grime palette of Nico's previous albums, however, Black Against An Orange Line posits itself as a suitable follow-up to his last record on Daisart, and sets the stage for future outings from the artist and label.

From the artist: "This music is deeply influenced by my working process at home: the days I have at home, away from work or study; the ones where I can let the entire day slip away. I work at my computer all day, watching the sun's light drift from one end of the garden through the softly billowing gumtrees onto the other end, over the concrete and the faded brick everywhere in inner-urban Melbourne. I try to stay offline as much as possible. Upon reflection, it seems very hermetic and closed-in. But I like to see it in a somewhat dreamy way. This is "home"-music, background music if you will - but I wouldn't dare say it's relaxing music. This is my own take on the give-and-take between the daydream and the chaos of this process, locked away in quiet, patient ambient spaces. It's all centred on that moment at the end of the day where the sun dips below into the underworld, and the sky appears so black against the orange band of the horizon. I want to make a pilgrimage, a Haj, to that moment. I want to make music to communicate that space over a grander, longer scale you can slip into and disappear."

'Rounded' from 'Wound Without A Tear' by Kazumichi Grime

https://daisart.bandcamp.com/album/wound-without-a-tear

"Wound Without A Tear is a compilation of “Australian” Ambient and Experimental Music; an area so often overlooked and misunderstood because it does not easily fall into historical context. However, the fifteen years (1993-2008) the collection cites–a period of early 90s post-rave ethereality defined by pleasure-centred spaces (chill-out rooms) and the personal computer’s emergence as a popular tool for file-sharing and secondary-living in the 00s–is befitting of closer examination.

The recordings were sourced from artists, labels, corrupted disk drives, CD-Rs, the WWW and archives of Melbourne’s 3RRR community radio station.

During the 1990s, as new technologies emerged and mass digital culture flourished, artists explored the emergent possibilities of the Internet with a utopian fervour, viewing the web and its plethora of images and information as a site of boundless potential. In the 2000s, file sharing connected people around the world directly to one another, and this incorporation of online experience into material objects, meant there was an increasingly porous border between the online and offline worlds–if there remained a border, at all."
