About Eiko Ishibashi
Artist Biography
Eiko Ishibashi is a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer/songwriter from Japan. Her primary instrument is the piano; she also plays drums, flute, and vibraphone. Her recorded catalog reveals that she's equally adept at composing and performing quirky pop, modern classical music, prog rock, post-bop, and free improv. Well-traveled as a collaborator in studio and on tour, her solo recordings, including 2014's Car and Freezer, revealed the seam where her quirky pop met complex jazz composition, while Kouen Kyoudai, her 2016 album-length collaboration with Merzbow, offered industrial improvisation. 2018's acclaimed, avant-pop set The Dream My Bones Dream appeared from Drag City. 2022 saw the release of her score and soundtrack to Ryusuke Hamaguchi's feature film, Drive My Car. In April 2023 she and Jim O'Rourke collaborated on Lifetime of a Flower. The following year she issued Evil Does Not Exist, followed in March 2025 by Antigone.
