 ‘stillness, softness…’ explores a new sonic range within Hinako 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.
 ‘stillness, softness…’ is “a collage of experiments” which she then pieced together “like a puzzle,” each song representing a memory room.
 The end result is seamless, a continuous cycle of 13 vignettes that flow in and out of each other, recorded and written between her bedroom in London and her grandmother’s house in Yokohama, Japan.
 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…’ sees Omori venture more into the singer songwriter sphere, using organic synth sounds whilst still dipping into the electronic world.
 Keyboard player for award-winning artist Kae Tempest.
 Omori has played with the BBC Concert Orchestra numerous times.
 Headline album tour mid-November - December.
 Mastered and cut by Matt Colton at Metropolis, London.
