I’m a Japanese composer, music producer and sound artist based in Berlin. I specialize in original electronic music and creative sound design for film, animation and visual art.
My work combines synthesizers, drum machines, processed voice, field recordings and experimental sound textures. I create both complete musical compositions and detailed sonic environments shaped around the mood and narrative of a visual project.
As Saeko Killy, I have released two solo albums, including Dream In Dream on the German label Bureau B. The album was ranked No. 7 in The Guardian’s “10 Best Experimental Albums of 2025.”
I created all the original music and sound design for Christine Gensheimer’s four-minute animated film Work in ProRes, including environmental sounds, footsteps, vehicle sounds and processed voices. The film was screened at the 72nd International Short Film Festival Oberhausen in 2026.
I work primarily in Ableton Live 11 and can provide final mixes, WAV files and separate stems. I’m available for custom composition, scoring and creative sound design for film, animation, fashion, theatre and visual art.
