Mayu Hirano's work is directed by her interests in perception and experiences in sonic sculptural and architectural landscape. Her realizations are developed with a personal language concerned with auditory perception, psychoacoustics and the evolution of sensory proprioceptive memory systems. Not limited to music, her works are informed by visual phenomena, especially art sculpting time and light. Art music, for her, is a field of expression of her perspective of the world as well as the possibility of synthesizing intelligent dimensions between the perceptive world and immaterial worlds of inaudible and invisible spheres.
