Origamibiro is a collaborative project that merges the creative talents of composer and sound artist Tom Hill with video artist The Joy of Box, combining elements of neo-classical composition, electronic music, and a pronounced sensibility for organic textures. Since its inception in the mid-2000s, Origamibiro has been known for a hands-on approach to music-making, often incorporating found sounds, field recordings, and a range of unconventional instruments within their compositions. Their work frequently extends beyond the realm of audio, encompassing multi-disciplinary performances that integrate visual art and live video manipulation to create an immersive experience that blurs the lines between the digital and the tactile.

With a discography that embodies the essence of experimentation within a framework of melodic structures, Origamibiro has carved out a space within the ambient and electronica scenes that is distinctly their own. Albums such as "Cracked Mirrors & Stopped Clocks" and "Shakkei" showcase the duo's ability to weave intricate, emotive soundscapes that are at once intimate and expansive. The subsequent "Shakkei Remixed" album highlights the transformative interpretations by various artists, adding a dynamic layer to their work. Even with more recent releases like "Morel" and "Miscellany", Origamibiro maintains a consistent mission: to challenge the conventional boundaries of music and visual art, inviting listeners into a world where every sound holds a story, and every image is steeped in sound.
