cokiyuの音楽はパーソナルで、僕がぐるぐる悩んで頭を真っ白にしたい時に必要な音楽の要素をたくさん持っている。 物語のように紡がれたメロディー、夢見心地な歌声、デジタルで手の込んだ、氷のようなサウンドスケープの感じがとても好きだ。
これは確かにエレクトロニカ・ポップだけど、シンプルに美しい音楽だよ!
– Thomas Knak / Opiate
Cokiyuのアルバム『Your Thorn』にOpiateからコメントをいただきました。
Opiateはデンマークのアーティスト。北欧エレクトロニカ史上に残る傑作アルバム『objects for an ideal home』をリリースしたことにより、Björk『Vespatine』に参加、世界的な名声を得るも、マイペースな活動は変わらず、morr musicなどから質の高いリリースを続けています。
同郷のDub TractorらとのユニットFuture3やSystem、Alva NotoとのOpto、そしてPeople Press Playなど多方面でその才能を発揮、自身のレーベルHobby Industriesでも魅力的なアーティストを数多く世に出しています。
“really beautiful music .. so ashamed I did not know about her music before now.”
と最初にcokiyuの音楽を聴いた時に語ってくれたThomas、もちろん『Your Thorn Remixes』にも参加してくれています。こちらもお楽しみに!
