Once again, A new gift will be joining
noble. With his base on the internet, this electronic artist's dreamy view of
the world transcends any border and any scene; mus.hiba's memorable first album
will be released this winter in December.
mus.hiba is a Tokyo-based producer who
began his musical activities in 2011 through DTM. Mus.hiba uploaded on
Soundcloud his music using "Yufu Sekka" (something close to
VOCALOID), a voice library from the free singing voice synthesizer
"UTAU". His being spread throughout social networking services in no
time, and as the number of plays increased daily, he began receiving words of
praise from all around the world. Thereafter, he collaborated with artists such
as England's Bo en, Ireland's Harmful Logic, he remixed America's Spazzkid,
Jakarta's TOKYOLITE, he became a part of "ZOOM LENS", and American
Netlabel / Artist collective run by meishi smile; with artists that he met
through the internet, he is developing activities across the border.
Finally finished, Mus.hiba's first full
album "White Girl" is an album entirely featuring virtual singer
"Yufu Sekka". As his dreamy tracks which assimilate electronica,
chill wave, synthpop and even LA beats merge with Yufu Sekka's whispery voice,
a transient, cold, warm, chill but upper, unique utai in which desolation and
euphoria coexist is born. The album artwork is by Ai Teramoto, a spirited
japanese illustrator who's portraits have strong-willed impressive eyes. Keep
your eyes on Teramoto's newly illustrated girl on the cover with Yufu Sekka as
its motif.
With keywords such as "snow" and
"winter", Mus.hiba says that he wanted to express the fragility of a
two-dimensional character singing. Mus.hiba's first album "White
Girl" is a sweet and ephemeral winter story, dreamt by an extraordinary
bedroom dreamer.
