HINAKO OMORI - COLINE CORNÉLIS

“Another brilliant example of how reflective and nurturing art can be”

Since 2022’s critically acclaimed debut album “a journey…“, Hinako Omori has fast become one of the UK’s most compelling breakthrough musicians, blurring the lines between classical, electronic and ambient. A concept album inspired by the ancient Japanese ritual of forest bathing, “a journey…“‘s lush textures, rooted in nature, were called “remarkable” by Pitchfork and received heavy rotation on BBC 6 Music.

Omori’s potent blend of therapeutic frequencies, drones and her ethereal falsetto connected: she has since supported Beth Orton, Anna Meredith and Ichiko Aoba, played with a 60-piece orchestra for BBC Radio 3’s Unclassified and, later this year, will join Floating Points’ esteemed ensemble at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles to perform Promises, his collaborative album with the late Pharoah Sanders.This tour will see Omori’s new album “stillness, softness…” performed in full for the first time, as well as being her first headline shows in Europe.

The album explores shining a light on our shadow sides - the act of facing our fears, letting go and finding peace and stillness within ourselves. Incorporating celestial electronic symphonies with ethereal vocals and drum machines, “stillness, softness...” is Omori’s most accessible yet, and one that evidences her true range as a composer, artist and synth virtuoso.
