Noriko (2)

Japnese New Age/Electronic/Ambient music musician, composer and singer. The founder and member of music project Dream Dolphin. Born on June 27, 1979 in Tokyo, Japan, and moved from studying classic Italian songs as a child, to increasingly being inspired by artists such as PiL (Public Image Limited), Yellow Magic Orchestra, The KLF and movies such as ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ and ‘Le Grand Bleu’. The music she released under the name Dream Dolphin, from the age of sixteen, is unique and versatile in style, encompassing Ambient, IDM, Techno, Trance and even Drum & Bass, whilst fusing natural sounds with her own spoken word lyrics.

Dream Dolphin released more than twenty albums in just eight years. In addition to her own projects, she has also put together a number of compilations herself, as well as composing ambient music to be used in hospitals and other caring contexts. She's currently living in New Zealand.
