Silent Poets is a Japanese electronic duo that has consistently carved out a niche for themselves with their unique blend of hip-hop, jazz, and ambient music. Formed in the early 1990s by Michiharu Shimoda and Takahiro Haruno, Silent Poets became known for their atmospheric tracks that combine spoken word, ethereal soundscapes, and intricate beats. Over the years, their style has evolved but has consistently stayed true to an eclectic and introspective sound signature.

While Silent Poets have released numerous albums and tracks throughout their career, their recent work like "Almost Nothing" and "dawn" showcase a maturity in production and a deepened artistic vision. Their collaborations are often evocative and international, such as the track "東京 ~ NTTドコモ Style'20" featuring 5lack. Silent Poets also extend their musical flair to fashion, demonstrated by the project "SILENT POETS for ISSEY MIYAKE 2001 SPRING & SUMMER COLLECTION," highlighting their ability to cross the auditory with the visual. "TO COME... REMIX VOLUME 1" and "TO COME... REMIX VOLUME 2," along with their alternative mixes and extra tracks, exemplify their willingness to deconstruct and reinterpret their music, offering new dimensions to their audience. Silent Poets remain influential and respected for their distinctive sound that epitomizes the cross-pollination of genres and cultures.
