Release of 2018.
‘Lunisolar’ is the second solo album from the ‘Queen Of Japanese Noise’,
Mayuko Hino. ‘Faintainhead’ unleashes swathes of densely layered noise,
undulating in intensity and ferocity. Although claustrophobic
throughout, there are moments of gentle metallic percussion, punctuating
the raging vibrations beneath. ‘Astral Travelling’ offers no such
relief, featuring unrelenting, piercing electronics throughout until the
final few minutes of psychedelic comedown. In addition to self-made
instruments, Hino plays noise with her six-theremin oscillators (in
bright pink) – the one and only in the world, specially made by Ryo
Araishi (a.k.a. ichion).
Prolific as a live performer, Hino is most well-known for forming C.C.C.C.
(Cosmic Coincidence Control Center) in 1990, together with Hiroshi
Hasegawa, Fumio Kosakai and Ryuichi Nagakubo. In its early phase, the
band grabbed attention by combining noise music with Hino’s
sadomasochism performance using bondage ropes and dripping candle wax.
She has since been a member of Mne-Mic, DFH-M3, and Transparentz. Digipak.
