Midori Takada is a composer, multi-percussionist, and theater artist renowned in Japanese vanguard circles. In 1983, she released her influential debut solo album Through the Looking Glass. This timeless, minimalist classic—which Takada recorded in two days using bells, marimbas, reed organs, gongs, ocarinas, and Coca-Cola bottles—is inspiring a new generation of listeners after it was reissued to critical acclaim in 2017. The album explores contemplative ambient sounds that are alternatively ethereal and vibrant, yet always precise and mesmerizing, affirming Midori's rightful place in the canon of minimalist composers alongside Brian Eno, Phillip Glass, Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, and Steve Reich.
