ryosuke miyata

Tokyo based Ryosuke Miyata has been playing the piano since he was a small child. His influences include classical music, video-game soundtracks and healing music. In the two years since first performing under the name "Miche" in the latter half of 2011, he has already released five EPs on domestic and overseas netlabels such as totokokolabel and On Sunday Recordings, and has been introduced by various online media sources to audiences not only in his native Japan but in places as far away as Belgium, Italy and Germany. Meanwhile, his activities have continued to diversify and expand, with multiple music releases also published by the indie music collective Flowery, of which he is the frontman, appearances on compilations from ArtLism.JP, Calmlamp, UNNOISELESS and others, and artist collaborations with the likes of Magdala, Meme, [.que], Hakobune, Shelling, and Chihei Hatakeyama. He continues to look for new ways to expand his range and scope as a musician, including contributing tracks to vocal artists and further music-based collaborations. His much-anticipated first album, Visionary, was released in December 2013. In 2014, he changed his name from "Miche" to his real name "Ryosuke Miyata." Owing to his boyhood years spent fondly creating and otherwise being immersed in reverie, fantasy and fiction, Miche’s music creation and live performances are steeped in themes such as daydreams come true, lasting impressions, and interpretations of childhood memories. With a signature sound that connotes a sense of nostalgia and illusion, Miche’s music creation process combines piano, guitar, bass and other traditional instruments with computer-based elements such as sound processing, sampling and field recordings.
