ironomi
Piano + Acoustic guitar + Laptop = いろのみ (IRONOMI).
ironomi is an ambient classical duo consisting of pianist Junya Yanagidaira (b.1984) and Yu Isobe (b.1984) on guitar & laptop. iro-no-mi literally means “fruit of color”, a meaning unique in Japanese to describe the quintessential Japanese aesthetic centered on the four seasons. With a background of study in classical music and sound art, they create their own brand of impressionist music that intersects this Japanese sense with modern electro-acoustic approaches.
Since 2007, ironomi has released 6 albums, mostly improvisional and location centric recordings, “ironomi”, “RECODE”,. “北の果ての物語’, ”ubusuna” and “ZONE”. These albums have appeared under Japanese labels Ryoondo Tea and STARNET MUZIK. In 2010, ironomi released their first album outside of Japan called “sketch”under Kitchen. Label.
ironomi has worked on many commissioned music projects such as DESIGN BUSSAN NIPPON (Japanese craft x modern design exhibition), WWF (World Wildlife Fund) and a collaboration between SWITCH magazine and renowned photographer Kisei Kobayashi. ironomi performs regularly at festivals across Japan and is a mainstay at Nagano’s Onsen Sound & Art Village, Mashiko’s Earth Art Festival and Kyoto’s Electronic Evening among others.
Outside of their work as ironomi, Junya is a member of kadan with haruka nakamura and also appears as a solo artist. Yu is based in the pastoral surroundings of Tochigi and owns a farm.
