Hinako Omori Stillness, Softness...

For Hinako Omori, synthesizers are a portal to the subconscious. Since she started mapping them out with 2022’s critically acclaimed debut album, a journey…, Omori has fast become one of the UK’s most compelling breakthrough musicians, blurring the lines between classical, electronic and ambient. Pitchfork said “remarkable” and received heavy rotation on BBC 6Music. The album on the whole is Omori’s most accessible yet, and one that evidences her true range as a composer, artist, arranger, vocalist and synth virtuoso. stillness, softness… explores a new sonic range within Omori’s world of analogue synths – namely, her Prophet ’08, the Moog Voyager and UDO Super 6, an analogue hybrid synthesizer that creates binaural, 3D-simulating sound. 1. both directions ? 2. ember 3. stalactites 4. cyanotype memories 5. in limbo 6. epigraph… 7. foundation 8. in full bloom 9. a structure 10. astral 11. an ode to your heart 12. epilogue… 13. stillness, softness
