Mille Plateaux / Blue Tapes / Organic Industries

Teruyuki Kurihara is a music producer and artist from Japan born in 1979. He started his electronic solo project Cherry in 2007 after playing in some bands. The Alex EP was released in 2009 by the Four: Twenty label based in Bristol. He has released more music on a number of labels, from home and abroad (including Blue Tapes and Organic Industries). 

He has spent time between 2012-2014 living and playing live in Australia, Thailand, England, and Germany, experiences that inspired him to begin his art practice. 

His style has been described as ’marvellous and elaborate lines in minimal design’. He has been part of group exhibitions in Berlin, before returning to Japan and making illustrations for Tomoki Tamura’s Holic Trax.  In addition he has exhibited and made live paintings at festivals including Re:birth and Rural. He has recently been expanding his artistic horizons including both music and drawing art.

In 2020, he released Frozen Dust, a full-length album on Mille Plateaux inspired by nature, particularly the cycles of "destruction and creation"; characterised by industrial and experimental music cast in minimalist fashion.
