Marihiko Hara (b. 1983) is a composer residing in Kyoto, Japan. Graduated from the Department of Education, Kyoto University.
His main interest is to compose serene silence in music and to pursue his own texture of sounds, through electric/acoustic sounds and field recordings. He released the album “PASSION”(2020) , “Landscape in Portrait”(2017), mixing melodic piano, electric abstract sounds and Japanese traditional instruments.

On the other hand, he produces agressive abstract electric music for collaborated projects with people involved in many fields, such as Ryuichi Sakamoto for Damien Jalet’s “Vessel”, “Omphalos” and the documentary film “Agniyogana”, Kohei Nawa, Isabel Muñoz, Raphaël Dallaporta, Hideki Noda and Junya Watanabe COMME des GARÇONS.
He has also joined the artist collective “Dumb Type” since 2014.

Cult British label started by Jonny Trunk in 1995, issuing the unusual, unexpected and often quite underwhelming, unless you're listening in the nude.

Bio:
With the focus on deep electronic music two sound addicted brothers established the project Echoton in 2007. Initially playing deepest house around Berlin in the early 3rd millennium, the fascination for music production evoked and led to a deeper cosmos of electronic music. The passion of collecting vinyl turned into a sweet sickness in collecting hardware and software instruments. 

Heading towards a more elaborate-sounding techno/house direction, Echoton today is mainly known for their organic and detailed vibe somewhere in between crunchy minimal, deep techno and experimental electroacoustic music. Their search for the balance between established methods and pleasant unexpected suprises keeps them rolling. 

In addition to their studio and label work they definitely love to perform, either as a DJ team or live act. This is an exchange of two brothers who understand each other implicitly and complement one another blindly.

Alma Laprida was born in 1985. Her experience with music includes studies in a Conservatory, pure improvisation and, recently, studies in Electronic Arts. She studied piano and guitar, and also played bass and percussion. She sang in a classical music choir and she screamed imitating her punk rock heroes in school bands. She sang jazz for years and learned how to improvise. She played in a medieval music ensemble for six years, learned about ancient instruments and discovered non-tonal music. Now she uses her medieval trumpet marine and her voice to improvise, but she knows that the music she likes the most is one she has never heard yet.
