Baba Yaga's Hut present Grimm Grimm THUR 19 MAR

Grimm Grimm is the musical project of London-based composer, recording artist, and producer Koichi Yamanoha, originally from West Tokyo, Japan. His music blends experimental pop elements with futuristic lyricism, weaving music box-like, timeless melodies with ethereal soundscapes and electric textures.

Throughout his releases, Yamanoha has explored subtle shifts in style. He incorporates contemporary production while drawing inspiration from baroque folk and 18th-century English”infinite canons”—compositional forms built on repetition and cyclical structures. His melodies, often left hanging at the ends of songs, echo like nursery rhymes—prayer-like motifs that invite listeners into a meditative, trance-like state.

Grimm Grimm’s music was recently featured in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach for PlayStation 5—the sequel to the critically acclaimed cult science fiction gam. Yamanoha also makes a cameo appearance in the game. He has collaborated with a diverse range of artists, producers, and labels—including ATP Recordings, Café Oto, Josephine Foster, Laetitia Sadier, Marta Salogni, Kevin Shields, Klein and Hideo Kojima—through which his work has become firmly rooted in the experimental and avantgarde music scenes, as well as in the worlds of film and video game soundtracks.With each release, his sound continues to evolve, drawing listeners deeper into a spiritual realm thatresonates within the fabric of everyday life. — Helen Clifford
