MIZU builds expansive soundscapes through her singular cello playing. Her stratiform compositions meld self-recorded layers of her instrument with electronic manipulation and experimental production. MIZU’s two self-produced albums, Forest Scenes and Distant Intervals, received attention from Pitchfork, NOWNESS Asia, Bandcamp Daily, New Sounds, Stereogum, and Them. Notable live performances include a European debut at Rewire Festival, opening for Tim Hecker, performances at The Brooklyn Museum, The Noguchi Museum, and a headlining United States tour. MIZU scored the music for 4 | 2 | 3 , a full-length contemporary dance production by Baye & Asa, which premiered at the Baryshnikov Arts Center and was featured in The New York Times.
