Midori Hirano is a Japanese musician, composer, and sound artist based in Berlin. Building on a classical piano education, she creates complex, emotionally charged soundscapes using finely processed synthesizer sounds and the fleeting textures of field recordings, where acoustic intimacy meets experimental abstraction. Under the pseudonym MimiCof, Midori Hirano also ventures into sonic worlds that explore rhythmic complexity, melodic distortion and the tension between structured and spontaneous music. In addition to her recordings as a solo artist and with various ensembles, she composes music for film, dance and video installations.

Her latest solo album, »Otonoma«, released in 2026 on Thrill Jockey, has been enthusiastically praised »for its reflective and connective beauty, a sensational sensory experience«.
