�Through The Looking Glass� is Midori Takada�s first solo endeavor, a captivating four-song suite capturing her deep quests into traditional African and Asian percussive language and exploring contemplative ambient sounds with an admirably precise use of marimba. The result is alternatively ethereal and vibrant, always precise and mesmerizing, and makes for an atmospheric masterpiece and an unparalleled sonic and spiritual experience.

Midori Takada is a composer, multi percussionist, and theater artist renowned in Japanese vanguard circles. She will tour Europe this year. Midori released two solo albums: �Through The Looking Glass� and �Tree Of Life� and wrote music for Tadashi Suzuki�s theater plays. Her hypnotic, minimalist music is based in the concept of coherence between sound and the human body.
