Hinako Omori: Abbey Road Amplify x Pitchfork London Sessions

image
In the concluding episode of our Amplify x Pitchfork London series, in partnership with American music publication Pitchfork, talented UK-based electronic musician Hinako Omori builds upon a demo she has been working on. Using a combination of our microphones and Yamaha piano, Hinako expertly weaves together different fragments of sound to create a cohesive and uninterrupted piece, akin to that of a patchwork quilt, as she says.

[Hinako Omori] Today we are at

the Beautiful Gatehouse in Abbey Road.

I was working on for maybe a next record

They've got some beautiful synthesizers here.

♪ In the solitude ♪

♪ So quiet I can hear my breath ♪

Don't really know how I fell into making this kind of music.

I think it's largely maybe

down to the instruments I use.

A lot of the time, it comes from just experimenting

with synthesizers and seeing what kind of sounds
