    Oto
    Time Capsule Sunday
    Having produced music for Sony, Mercedes-Benz and Heinz, Chicago based sound designer Kiku Hibino has released his first collection, concerns itself with themes of capturing and preserving fleeting moments.
    From dubby electronica to orchestral soundtrack, Chicago-based sound artist, oto (kiku hibino) explores various approaches in electronic music. His debut album “Time Capsule Sunday”, mastered by Curtis Roads (Asphodel), was just released from Otokikiyama Records* in 2007. Featuring CD-skipping sounds layered with field recordings, “Time Capsule Sunday” creates uniquely cinematic soundscapes. As a rising freelance composer, oto has been actively producing music for commercial advertisements of major companies including Sony, Mercedes-Benz, Heinz, Toyota and so on. In 2006 oto participated in Stop-Rokkasho campaign curated by Ryuichi Sakamoto aiming to raise people’s awareness of the danger of nuclear power reprocessing plants. oto contributed a collaborative piece with Norma Field titled “Before Then” for world-wide downloading. Inspired by this experience, oto grows interests in environmental issues and starts his new project seeking creative uses of spoken words and field recordings in electronic music. *Originally scheduled to be released from Sub Rosa in Belgium. the wire (reviewd by ken hollings) http://www.exacteditions.com/exact/browse/435/493/2634/3/72 more info at http://otomusic.com Also available: Commercial Works 2004-2006 (iTunes)
