  • Description

    MIEKO SHIMIZU is a London based Japanese singer, songwriter, composer and producer. She first erupted onto the scene as Apache 61, fusing layers of cross-woven breaks and battling shards of sub-bass within stateless melodies drawn from the fringes of the avant-garde. Mieko has produced scores for contemporary dance company Phoenix Dance Theatre as well as the Ballet 'The Red Balloon' at the Royal Opera House's Linbury Theatre. She was made an 'Emerging Artist in Residence' at London's Southbank Centre where she collaborated with the London Philharmonic Orchestra on her own compositions.

    ROAD OF SHELLS was originally released back in 1990 and now being released for the very first time on vinyl. Recored at Wold Studios in London, the record features an array of talented musicians from Claude Deppa on trumpet and guitar from Dominique Brethes. 'Blue Dancer' and 'In The Garden' features Mieko's brother Yasuaki Shimizu on saxophone.
