Chie Otomi

Chie Otomi is an electronic musician and composer based in Osaka, Japan, crafting calm, soothing ambient sounds in a post-new age style that's beautifully textured and dreamy—like a ticket to some faraway, peaceful place. She's got a knack for gentle synth-washed miniature worlds, with releases like *Touch Again* (2021 on Muzan Editions), the collab *Season of Wandering* with Hirotaka Shirotsubaki (2023), and more recent drops including *Namisen*, *Mado no tsuki*, *Age of Innocence*, *Lotus Flower*, and splits like *Split Release*.

Her music vibes perfectly with the rolling Japanese countryside—she even lit up Tobira Records' Gokkan Festival in 2021—and she's been putting out fresh tapes on labels like Unrush and Muzan Editions, keeping the ambient flow going strong into 2025.
