MIKI YUI, As If, LP
Hallow Ground
Vinyl / digital, catalogue nr. HG2404
Ltd. vinyl / digital
Release date 06. Sept. 2024

Miki Yui is a musician, artist, and composer, originally from Tokyo, who has been based in Düsseldorf since 1994. Her whose work has long explored multiple forms of media, while documenting liminal zones of perception. On her latest album, As If, Yui creates a subtly connected suite of electronic music, drawn from improvisations and randomised processes that she has engaged with modular synthesis. Deeply poetic in its expression, even at its most minimal, the six pieces on As If have a curious tenor – they are, each of them, intensely sensuous, almost haptic listening experiences, as though the laser focus that Yui displays towards her compositions allows her to engage them as almost physical presences in the world.

One of the keys that unlocks the intimate complexity-in-simplicity of As If was Yui’s encounters with the Amazonian rainforest in Manaus, Brazil in 2018. Finding that the sounds in the rainforest both shadowed and echoed the music she had been making for two decades, she embraced the possibilities of modular synthesis, the sounds of which she discovered “have astonishing similarities to the sounds I experienced in the rainforest.” There is, indeed, something natural about the way these sounds bloom in real time; in their dedicated focus to the subtle development and mutation of several discrete parameters of sound, they grow slowly, gradually, their rhizomic structures suggesting that we are always situated within the middle of sound.

Sometimes, the material here has a kind of febrile energy, as on the ticking, clacking electronics of “Generativ”, a track that seems to rotate in the air in front of the listener, the light reflecting off its multiple surfaces as we catch the intricacies of its micro-patterns. Elsewhere, we slide into a cooled but welcoming environment, like the late-night fire-fly horizon of “Song 4”; there’s also the humid, dripping tropical sunset that’s documented on “Summernight”. It’s a music that’s hard to locate external coordinates for, though there are, perhaps, some parallels with the work of Laurie Spiegel, Eliane Radigue’s Vice Versa, and Pauline Oliveros’s “Roots of the Moment”. But As If is an extraordinary collection of naturally developing, rich studies for slowly mutating, enveloping, elemental electronics.

Las Calles Ciegas

Release Date: 14.10.2025 

This 4 track EP consists of two tracks by Öspiel and another two by an Öspiel x Schwefelgelb collab. Sequences moving between accentuated percussion and dynamic melody loops over a massive basement of cutting beat grids. Conveying an impression of the reckless brutality of an unstoppable mechanism covered by a cheerful vibrancy, this release is still shaping up in a palette of various shades: sustained and soothing in ""Provider"", groovy and uplifting in ""6-APA"", aggressive but playful in ""Again"" and uncanny but bouncy in ""Bloom"".

You'll find those cinematic elements and breaks, which are so typical for Öspiel’s sound, as well as the melodic parts which sound somewhat between organic and synthesized. And you'll hear Schwefelgelb’s rawness and minimalism, which makes each single sound stand out.

Despite a subtle echo of EBM’s decay here and there, this release is moving forward in its very own redirection by adding Hypnotic, Groovy and Ambient notions to it. Last but not least the sophisticated mixing and sound design give this release an omnipresent powerful drive.

“Notion Compound” will be released 24th of October on n-PLEX, 140 g colored vinyl including download code.
