Makiko Iwaki aka “Menou” is a Japanese artist who pursues experimental soundscapes, and enjoys deep drone journeys.
She is conscious of creating a deep sound with an approach of layering sounds, and also enjoys giving an audience the subtle change in soundscape.

I made a drone with the hardware synthesizer mentioned above. 
The most fun part of performing live is when the drones played by various synthesizers create a unique groove!
