it's not that we have lost everything yet.

It's been only three months since the dark and cinematic instrumental outfit, Anoice, released their latest EP 'unerasable fire', which expressed a time when the world confronts new problems generated after the pandemic period. However, on August 5th, 2023, they will release one of the highest levels of masterpieces within their past releases as a single.

A spectacular orchestra layered over and over by string instruments of violins, violas, and cellos. A piano and the snare rolls of drums which incite the feeling of an increasing pace. And, destructive distorted guitar noises. It's exactly the sound the crystallises Anoice members' talents, which is far beyond the euphoria of 'the three-day blow' included in their first album 'Remmings' and 'second coming' in the latest album 'The Hidden Forest'.

'farfa cinematic symphony' is like the last remaining song of hope left behind in an abandoned world, and also one which will go down in the history of not only specific genres such as instrumental, post-rock, and neoclassical, but music itself.

Artist Profile

  • Anoice

    Anoice is a Tokyo based cinematic instrumental music group formed by multi instrumentalists; Takahiro Kido, Yuki Murata, Utaka Fujiwara, and Tadashi Yoshikawa. When they established the band, Yuki Murata came up with the name Anoise pronounced 'a noyce' to mean 'one noise'. However, they found that name had already been used by other artist via the internet, so they changed the spelling to Anoice. Their debut album 'Remmings' was released on Important Records, Boston in 2006 and their talent was admired by internationally acclaimed musicians Ryuichi Sakamoto, Nobuo Uematsu, and Christian Fennesz. Anoice then released their highly-praised 3rd album, 'The Black Rain' worldwide in 2012, via their own music label, Ricco Label, Important Records in US and Flowers Blossom In The Space in Russia. This album was selected as one of the top albums of the year by many music review websites. In 2015, Anoice released the 4th album 'into the shadows' recorded in not only Tokyo, but also London, Paris, Warsaw, and Moscow. One of the album tracks 'old lighthouse' became the #1 trending track on Spotify as Japanese artists, and 'invasion' was used as the credit roll tune of 'Girl Lost', a US movie which was the #1 trending movie on Amazon Prime Video. Two years later, Anoice released a compilation album 'selected works' featuring their ambient tracks on 1631 Recordings in Sweden and started to distribute it via Universal Music, Anoice and the members of Anoice, Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata then hold European and Asian tours every year. In 2019, Anoice released three consecutive weekly singles in May, and then released their 5th album, 'Ghost in the Clocks', made from lovely melodies and magnificent orchestral sounds in August, which Anoice wrote to express the world that followed their 3rd album, 'The Black Rain'. This album and each song within the album became the #1 and top 10 most streamed/downloaded instrumental music on Apple Music and iTunes Store in over 20 countries. In addition, Anoice recorded some songs from Anoice and the members' solo projects; Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata, with 20-piece orchestra in Moscow. In 2020, because of the effects of the coronavirus, Anoice decided to cancel all upcoming tours but soon after, they released their 4th EP 'invisible wall' writing with emotions which can only be expressed in a time like this. In 2021, Anoice released their 6th album 'The Hidden Forest' after the longest ever production period in their history. This album took inspiration from 17 paintings of the forest painted by Naoko Okada, and includes 17 songs with the same title as each of the paintings, with a total length of 72 minutes. After they released the fifth EP 'unerasable fire', which pairs with 'invisible wall', in 2023. The band have finally completed their 7th album 'Stories in White' in 2024. This album is the final chapter of the trilogy about the modern history of humans, which follows up the Anoice's third album 'The Black Rain' and fifth album 'Ghost in the Clocks'. It could be said that Anoice's culmination of their entire career built by the beautiful soundscape of the magnificent orchestra-like sound and destructive noise. The members of Anoice are also involved in various side projects such as; RiLF, Films, Mizu Amane, Mokyow, Cru, and Tokyo Ambient Collective as well as other secret projects. Takahiro Kido and Yuki Murata also write and release work as solo artists.
