Chris H. Lynn and Hiroko Komiya began their collaboration in spring 2021. Their digital album "Oto no Yukue" (Where Sounds Go), released in February 2022, is a sonic sketchbook that captures the essence of their respective locations through exchanged sound letters. The album weaves together seasonal transitions, natural elements, and distant memories through their experimental composition process.
The duo continues to explore various projects including simultaneous recordings, sound journals, voice and poetry works, and live performances.

Artist profile
Hiroko Komiya ; Object Sound, Percussion & Voice
A sound artist who transmutes the ephemeral - air, space, movement, bodily sensation, and memory - into boundless sonic expressions beyond conventional melody and rhythm. Since 1999, she has been the principal musical collaborator for Atsushi Takenouchi's JINEN Butoh, and after relocating to Europe in 2002, has provided live accompaniment for his performances and workshops worldwide.
Her artistic reach extends beyond Butoh, engaging in multidisciplinary collaborations with filmmakers, sculptors, painters, poets, costume designers, and performers for exhibitions and installations. In 2022, she performed an 11-hour tribute performance to Félix Guattari (French psychoanalyst and philosopher) in Paris, alongside Ramuntcho Matta's art music collective and Atsushi Takenouchi. In 2021, she embarked on a new project with American film/sound artist Chris H. Lynn, creating audiovisual performances with dancers that have been featured at prestigious venues including Hybrid Butoh Vienna Art Festival 2022, Warsaw 2023, Barcelona 2023, Mexico 2024, Hong Kong 2024, Athens 2025, Japan2025, USA 2025.
