Satsuki Shibano is a Japanese pianist and interpreter known for her contemplative performances of French impressionist composers. Born in Japan, Shibano has developed a reputation for her nuanced approach to the works of Erik Satie, among other composers, bringing out the meditative and atmospheric qualities in their music. Her involvement in the Wave Notation series, specifically "Wave Notation 3: Erik Satie 1984," showcases her dedication to the realm of ambient and minimal music and resonates with her interest in the relationship between sound and silence.
Beyond her classical interpretations, Satsuki Shibano has also ventured into experimental and collaborative projects, as exemplified in the album "FRKWYS Vol. 15: serenitatem," a joint effort with electronic music artist Visible Cloaks, percussionist Yoshio Ojima, and composer and artist John Also Bennett. This cross-genre collaboration further solidified her presence in the avant-garde music scene. Her subsequent releases, including "Stratum," "rendez-vous," "Caresse," and "LE SOUFFLE INFORME," deepen her exploration of textural sounds and minimalist expressions, often incorporating spoken word and electronic elements to create introspective soundscapes that defy traditional classification. Satsuki Shibano continues to influence both classical and experimental music listeners with her evocative and serene interpretations, remaining a distinctive voice in Japan's contemporary music domain.
