Yaz Lancaster reviews "Forest Scenes," the new album from composer/cellist MIZU offering a prismatic journey to and through self-definition. https://t.co/tejm5UJZPc
As a composer and performer, MIZU embraces uncharted territory with her cello not so much in hand but working fully as an extension of her body and voice.

@iamMIZU's Forest Scenes is an experimental masterwork out 3/22 via @NNATapes. #PMPick [9/10]
MIZU "prphtbrd" references Schumann’s “Bird as Prophet”, a piano work in which a lone bird warns of industrial change. She used classical music as seeds for digital manipulation, collaging them w/ radio sounds, warped speech & stretched-out drum samples. https://t.co/4N4HZByz2G

Happy announce day @iamMIZU! Bandcamp selected Forest Scenes as a 'new & notable' today with the following quote: "The forthcoming record from MIZU is a marvel, nailing both Penderckian tension and moments of lush beauty."
34 years deep into their thing, The Necks are still making records as good as this one, based around lightly overdubbed recordings of their daily 20 minute warmup/improv sessions, resulting in 75 minutes of deep, multidimensional bliss...

As part of Durations Festival co-presented by Public Records and Pioneer Works, MIZU performed a stirring, gorgeous set of music last Friday which I absolutely loved. So much vulnerability and emotion. (📷 for @PioneerWorks_)
