Midori Takada is a Japanese percussionist, born in Tokyo on December 21, 1951. With a unique style that blends traditional Japanese music with experimental and ambient sounds, Takada has become a renowned figure in the world of contemporary music. Her mesmerizing performances have captivated audiences around the globe.
Takada's music can be described as ethereal and atmospheric, creating immersive sonic landscapes that transport listeners to another realm. Influenced by artists such as Valentina Magaletti, David Edren, and Sofie Birch, she has carved out her own distinct sound that pushes boundaries and challenges conventions.
Throughout her career, Takada has collaborated with notable musicians including Pauline Oliveros, Roméo Poirier, and Oren Ambarchi. Her compositions have been praised for their intricate rhythms and haunting melodies. Whether performing solo or with other talented performers like Dream Dolphin or Jon Hassell, Takada never fails to leave a lasting impression on her audience.

WRWTFWW Records and MEG Museum (Geneva) announce a new full-length album by celebrated Japanese percussionist Midori Takada, in collaboration with Buddhist monks belonging to the Samgha group of the Shingon school of Koya-san, led by Reverend Syuukoh Ikawa. Recorded at The Premises Studio (London) and in Tokyo in 2019, You Who Are Leaving To Nirvana is a majestic work combining a suite of six Buddhist liturgical chants and a musical creation by Midori Takada. The Buddhist chants come from three types of repertoires: shomyo ("Teisan", "Unga-Bai", "Sange", "Taiyo"), but also goeika ("Kannon-Daiji") and mantra ("Hannya-Singyo"). After supervising the recording of the Buddhist chants, Midori Takada added her own compositions, with subtle layers of percussion and the melodies of her beloved marimba, giving full life to the sacred texts.
