2007 saw the album debut of Moskitoo with 12kÆs Drape (12k1041). Since then,
Moskitoo (TokyoÆs Sanae Yamasaki) has been busy performing live, recording and
releasing new work (including sound/voice for Japanese media/television and iOS
apps) and expanding her talents as a visual artist in Japan. After six years of
growth as an artist she presents her sophomore album, Mitosis.
Mitosis begins with ôWonder Particle,ö a track that very much sums up MoskitooÆs
intentions: to embrace the digital with not only a human, but a distinctly
feminine touch. Wispy, layered vocals swim around rhythmic fragments and warm
insect-like noises. The music is strange and otherwordly, perhaps the soundtrack
to an evening stroll on a warm night in a bustling alien city. There are lights,
swarms of sound, a myriad of conversations blended by a thousand different
stories of passers-by always on the move.
The inspirations behind this second album are not far away from these ideas.
Moskitoo herself was thinking of journeys, even ones on the cellular level.
Mitosis, or the division of a cell into two identical sets of chromosomes, was a
point of departure for Moskitoo as she explored the ideas of division,
expansion, the human body, and small particles of matter. One can draw a
correlation between these ideas and her music as it nervously wiggles it way
through sounds both liquid and electronic.
Mitosis is a dreamy, playful and serious album that shows MoskitooÆs talents as
a sound explorer and songwriter. It is at once both catchy and curious, a
question that doesnÆt always need an answer.
