An Experimental Music Sampler Vol. 2

"You Smiled And Showed Me..."

A sonic ritual. A space of presence. A frequency of truth.
Created as part of an artistic-university project, this piece emerged from a phase of radical self-confrontation: the rediscovery of repressed childhood trauma.

The sound accompanied a ritual installation featuring photographs of deep vulnerability, captured in a forest marked by generational pain. Candles, mirror shards, and dried flowers formed an altar of remembrance and resonance.
This is not a soundtrack. It is a frequency space – somatic, slow, intuitive. 

A sound that invites you to pause, feel, and meet yourself.

Vulnerability is not weakness. It is a political gesture. A shared mirror.

This piece is my sacred mirror

Persönliche, rohe Aufnahme, entstanden mitten im Prozess.
Cover des Lieds „Untervögelt“ von Miss Ellie, mit eigenem Gesang in Dauerschleife.
Nicht perfekt. Nicht kommerziell.
Ein mutiger Versuch, mich auszudrücken und nicht unterzugehen.
Danke an Miss Ellie für das Original.

Meine Kunst entsteht aus dem tiefen Wunsch, authentisch und frei zu sein.
Sie ist kein Produkt zum Konsumieren, sondern ein Ausdruck meines inneren Erlebens —
eine Einladung, wirklich zuzuhören und wahrzunehmen, was zwischen den Worten liegt.

Ich teile sie nicht, um Erwartungen zu erfüllen oder Anerkennung zu suchen,
sondern um Verbindung zu schaffen — zu mir selbst und zu denen, die bereit sind, wirklich hinzuhören.

Das ist mein Weg, mein Ausdruck, mein Geschenk.
Und ich bewahre mir die Freiheit, ihn auf meine Weise zu gehen.

I discovered the freedom in looking at things as “different” instead of “better.”

Magnitude Of Characteristic Difference To Upper (disquiet0707)

This is an evocative, fantastical and alien landscape that I built, largely based on processing the sounds of various animals.

The Spanish term for "white magic" is magia blanca. In popular belief, it refers to magic that produces beneficial influences, often associated with healing, protection, or undoing negative spells.

Veil is an ambient sound piece created from field recordings I made while traveling through Indonesia — in ancient ruins and quiet hotel courtyards. Fragments of ambient noise, natural textures, and environmental resonance are layered with sparse, semi-random sound elements. Piano harmony emerges and fades, echoing through a structure. This piece aims to explore the threshold between music and noise, presence and absence ― an invitation to listen closely and let your perception fill in the spaces.
 Written, recorded, and mixed by Masako Yokouchi - Sonotant

Sound Collage: Reimagining Poème électronique is an attempt to reconstruct the structure and sense of Edgar Varèse and Xenakis’ Poème électronique in the context of contemporary time and perspective. 

The piece is divided into seven chapters: ‘Genesis’, ‘Spirit and Matter’, ‘From Darkness to Dawn’, ‘Man-Made Gods’, ‘How Time Moulds Civilisation’, ‘Harmony’, and ‘To All Mankind’, which evoke a mythical timeline of collective memory and sense. Each chapter follows the flow of human experience accumulating and transforming without forcing a specific narrative. This reinterpretation is based on an attempt to critically examine the ideals and contradictions inherent in mid-20th century technological optimism. Electronic sounds and edited images reveal the discontinuity of sense, the dispersion of memory, and the flaws of humanity.

Sound Collage: Reimagining Poème électronique

Poetry and sound from a quiet place. For those who listen with heart.

I create from a quiet place, sharing moments of vulnerability and strength. If my words or sounds touch you, I would love to hear your thoughts — honest, personal, anything. Every message means more than likes.

Ich pfeife. Ich schreibe. Ich höre zu.
Weil das Leben manchmal genau das braucht.

Was ich öffentlich teile, wähle ich bewusst – je nachdem, was sich für mich gerade stimmig anfühlt.

Manche Stücke, Gedanken oder Gespräche findest du auf meiner Website.

Manches auch auf LinkedIn, wenn ich mich dort zeige.

Und manches bleibt einfach bei mir.

Freiheit heißt für mich auch, zu spüren, was ich geben möchte – und wann nicht.

Wenn dich etwas berührt, findest du mich dort, wo ich gerade wirklich bin.

Ich bin nicht immer überall – aber ich versuche, dort zu sein, wo es für mich echt ist.

Nicht jede Begegnung ist tief. Und nicht alles, was fernbleibt, ist unecht.

Aber manchmal ergibt sich etwas, das leise klingt.

Dann darf man folgen. 
Oder einfach da bleiben. 
Auch das ist genug.

Making music is about being surprised.

Sonotant is the experimental electroacoustic music project of Masako Yokouchi, where organic soundscapes are crafted from field recordings and unconventional sonic sources. The music blends acoustic instrument recordings with digital audio and improvisational elements to offer a calming yet intriguing listening experience.

Her compositions are often inspired by the serenity and beauty found in the natural sounds of urban environments and the surrounding landscapes. Her creative process moves fluidly between the ambient and the depths of human consciousness, transforming fleeting moments into something deeply resonant.
Drawing from a diverse musical journey, Masako’s background spans classical piano and cello, free improvisation with accordion and keyboard, and early exposure to Japanese pop and jazz. This eclectic foundation shapes her multifaceted approach to composition.

In addition to her music, she teaches piano, music theory, and electronic music production to both children and adults.
