Miki Yui´s work deals with the memory of lived events. Focusing in particular on images and sounds, it reveals the
trace, or wake, that these leave behind as they fade, after having appeared (in the former case) or been produced (in
the latter). Carlo Fossati
Starting from a perception of the faintest sounds and noises, Miki Yui develops pieces of music, drawings and
sound installations that are subtle references to existents. Erich Franz
It is an unusual gift, to be able to position other listeners inside your personal soundscape. However, on listening
to these beautiful pieces, you will pretty soon find yourself standing amongst the invisible trees. Anthony Moore on CD
„magina“
