Mimicof "Love Control" ft. hprizm is a cut from '»sichten« vol.1' a compilation from Raster Noton out on September 21st. The Raster label invites friends and colleagues to present music that tends to be out of the focus of current media channels. For the first edition, they’ve invited musician, composer and video artist Frank Bretschneider, whose picked six artists working in multi-textured minimal sounds. MimiCof is the solo project of Midori Hiran in which she explores the realm of experimental music and detailed rhythmic patterns, combined with an idea of drawing melodic shapes and harmonies.

Midori Hirano - Close to Life
From the album “Mirrors in Mirrors”

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].
