about
Inspired by the image of the merging of sea and sky, mimosa|moize strives to create sound to 'depict' this visual phenomenon of the sea in the state of extreme stillness and almost indistinguishable from the sky.
In attempt to extract the essence of the sea, Seiren is composed through harnessing the melodic resonant frequencies of 13 different seashells. The prolonged still sound and extreme low volume are the key features of Seiren as it is not a mere representation of the sound of the sea, it is, more importantly, a reflection towards the background sound in our surroundings that dives in and out our awareness and consciousness.
What Seiren wishes to achieve is to integrate with the sounds that exist in the room where it is played into through speakers, and to direct our attention to the sounds that we normally neglect in our daily lives.

mimosa|moize is sound artists Lucia H. Chung (Taiwan, b.1979) and Martin J. Thompson (UK, b.1978). Their work consists of creating concept-led minimal and ambient electronic music, utilizing resonant qualities found in sound, space and objects. They work with an attention to that of the experience found in the perception and reception of sound, and how this relates to the person and a given context. Mostly they work with sounds consisting of a more narrow frequency range, thus allowing other sounds heard outside the music the space to move into and out of the fore. This interest is fundamental in influencing their preference of sounds and is subsequently contributing to the continuing development of their style.
mimosa|moize have worked with Murmur Records in Japan, Duckbay Records in USA and Dragon’s Eye Recordings in USA.
