Mimi Koto is her second album released on 360 Degree Records and is a slight departure from her first album Botanical Sunset as it delves deeper into pure onkyoMimi Koto opts to deliver organic sounds that reveal a wide range of expression: sensual, blissful, and sometimes surreal. It’s organic ambient that shimmers like pearls thrown into pools of water.(This discription by Robert Jarrell )

Siro Cocoon is a collection of two CDs―Siro and Cocoon―that were released early in her career on the Cacha*mai record label. It’s a wonderful introduction if you haven’t heard her music before. Miroque’s musical structures are abstract and free while the tonal qualities are innocent with hints of meditative feeling. This could be a soundtrack to a strange sci-fi movie and requires repeated listening to appreciate all the marvelous sounds. Her music is willing to take risks and searches for new, unique sounds that are combined in creative ways. It’s often cute, mellow, and dreamy. Imagine a sensitive female interpretation of the stranger sides of Piano Magic, Colleen, and Boards of Canada. soundscapes. The compositions on Mimi Koto are shorter and more diverse as Miroque successfully experiments with textural sounds and hypnotic compostions. The music is instrumental and has no vocals or beats.(This discription by Robert Jarrell)
