Hinako Omori
Lush analog synths and binaural field recordings that feel like a slow walk through a digital forest. Ethereal, liquid ambient for deep focus or quiet solitude.

Hinako Omori is a London-based Japanese composer and sound engineer whose work bridges the gap between ambient electronic and modern classical. With a background as a touring musician for artists like Kae Tempest and Georgia, Omori transitioned to a solo career that prioritizes sonic architecture and psychoacoustics.
Her 2022 breakthrough, 'A Journey...' , solidified her reputation for using binaural field recordings and analog synthesis (specifically the Prophet 08 and Moog Matriarch) to create 'healing' soundscapes. Her work is often thematic, exploring the relationship between sound and physical well-being, such as her 'Auraelia' EP which translated the sensory experience of migraines into musical form. Critically, she is grouped with artists like Julianna Barwick and Kara-Lis Coverdale for her use of the voice as a textural instrument. Her technical proficiency as an engineer allows her to maintain a high-fidelity, 'hi-fi' production style while retaining the emotional intimacy of 'bedroom' ambient. She represents a modern wave of ambient artists who integrate environmental ethics and mindfulness into electronic composition.
