The Japanese underground music legend, vocalist and electronics improviser’s career spans late ‘70s punk, ‘80s industrial, and continues today.
Hiromi Moritani started out in 1978 fronting one of Osaka's earliest punk groups, Aunt Sally, and went on to collaborate with a whole host of notable names as a solo artist in the ‘80s, including Ryuichi Sakamoto, Conny Plank, Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit of Can, Alex Hacke of Einstürzende Neubauten, and Chrislo Haas of DAF.
In recent years she's made music on record or live with Ana da Silva of The Raincoats, Jim O'Rourke, Oren Ambarchi, Ikue Mori, and Yoshimi of OOIOO/Boredoms/Saicobab.
In 2020, Disciples released Vertigo KO, a collection of material previously released on compilations, collaborations, singles, and CD-Rs only, while in 2021 Mute Records released New Decade, a stunning solo new album recorded in her home studio in the Tokyo suburb of Kawasaki during the pandemic.
