Imisu

sleepy & dreamy new single from Imisu. let the layers of guitar and delays wisp you away to sleep or a lengthly daydream. reminiscent of earlier releases in the imisu catalog. themed off this; a new guitar based full album possibly coming next year ~
Released: September 19th, 2024
Shades EP
Found a random live improvised session of some solo piano back in 2021. Produced in the style of "Ultisa" and "Dark Hearth" - these dreamy piano tracks swell and soar in soothing sonic waves. Hope you enjoy this quick experiment from Imisu ~
Released: August 27th, 2024
Imisu - Far Flight Home - Remixes (Cont.)
Some extra remixes that didn't make the cut in time, or some I felt didn't jive with the rest of the remixes. Here we have two special remixes from "midside" & "Suri Sunriser" - using glitchy sporadic experimental elements. Alongside with two dark and haunted ambient remixes from Violet A. Foster & RANDEL .the ghost. ~
Released: December 12th, 2023
Imisu - Far Flight Home (Deluxe Edition)
Imisu is back with another full album. Continuing off of the vibes and themes from "Long Drive Home" - "Far Flight Home" is a warm and optimistic experience. Consisting of only guitar, aesthetic textures and nostalgic melodies. Using a plethora of effect pedals and production techniques to create such subtle lullabies. All the while still delivering that signature Imisu sound. A satisfying & mature follow up to this project's discography.
For the first time ever, Imisu has invited their musician/producer friends to create remixes as a special feature. Check them out on SIDE B!
Released: September 13th, 2023
Imisu - Thinking of You [single]
Minimal, emotion driven and liminal. Something slightly new for this project. Losing the multi-layering and keeping it simple. A love letter to yearning. Checkout the incredible music video by Turbulent Determinism
Enchanted II
A collaboration between myself as Imisu & Ozymandias’ Dream (Juan Antonio Martinez Martinez). Imisu guitar chopped and blended with Ozy’s beats & percussion. Heavily fantasy themed & completely illustrated by Juan.
Little Threes
Using the same looper pedal from the previous releases. This latest installment features much more concrete song structures, experimental moments and heavy layering of guitar.
CD’s and Tapes available.
Ethos
Incorporating that classic Imisu guitar layering with some soft percussion and grooves. Wispy guitar melodies blend together with fx layers and synths to give smooth and subtle movements throughout the EP.
Still Searching
Recently touched up and mastered. These were written in the time span of 2015-2018. I can just barely remember writing any of these. It's just a fog now. But re-listening back certainly is a vague trip into nostalgia.
Skydream
Composed of all guitar. Jumping back and forth from acoustic. Similar to the early releases yet these are much more active and flowing, like they are leading somewhere or just slowly swimming through the air.
Resin [single]
I sent LBL some unreleased Imisu tunes to sample flip and throw some drums on. They came back with a beat, bells, a bass and a well chopped Imisu tune. After a few adjustments I added several layers of vocals to top it off.
Enchanted: w/Ozymandias’ Dream
Using several tunes from the Imisu catalogue (released and unreleased) were sampled flipped by OD. After some warping & cutting OD created something magical.
Ultisa
Improvised within 45 minutes. Using analog gear, solo piano recording techniques, and the signature Imisu reversing/warping. I'm very happy how this came out especially Becka's parts. Next step from Dark Hearth.
Sleep Moments 3 (ft. Cosette Gobat)
A mixture of Cosette’s vocals heavily washed out, she also wrote a swelling hypnotic bass riff. Imisu brings back some guitar techniques that were commonly used in Long Drive Home (2017).
Forgetting You (ft. Fever Aches) [single]
A reverse piano ballad improvised within 30 minutes. I played and sang with the intention of reversing myself. As well as the signature Fever Aches amp effect on the vocals.
Luxmane w/pineconesweestones
A warm and bright collaboration with pineconesweestones. All song structure and everything not guitar is pineconesweestones. Multiple layers of drums/perc and heavy fx & samples.
Little Twos
Written/improvised within 45 mins. Using my multi effects and looper pedal, this EP poured out of me like a breath. A jumble of neoclassical inspired songs. My blending of guitar layers create this almost seamless voice.
Sleep Moments 2
A plethora of glistening yet dusty sounding guitars. Like SM1, the moment is played how it was recorded. Then a second warped version to follow. Played on repeat.. it’s easy to get lost within…
Dark Hearth
Cohesive cauldron of sound. An improved two hour session. Layering of multiple delays and reverse tracks throughout. Chaos & control, that is the beauty of Dark Hearth.
Sleep Moments 1
A new series of mini warp-y dry guitar tracks. Very minimal. The goal is to capture the listener in smooth cozy sound. Warm sounds and textures. Each track is written very spontaneously.

Cozy Questioning [single]
Little Ones
A warped re-mixed & mastered version of Crossing Bridges - Sleeping Dog II. These two songs really take their time, and flow like a gentle stream of consciousness. Very sleepy.
Apple Music Spotify Soundcloud
Samples of the local trains passing. Using extremely light drums / percussion through very subtle loops throughout. And of course… subtle, chill, spacey ambient guitar layers.
Apple Music Spotify Soundcloud
Mini album, written and recorded in one day through Kevin Brusha's Quad Verb amp and a looper. These live loops immediately entice the listener. One of my favorite releases of this project yet.

Damn (for Ben)
Completed in one night after hearing the news of my friend Ben's passing. Extremely emotional and somber tunes.

Long Drive Home
Most Cohesive album so far. Each song has strong imagery & captures the subtleties of loneliness and longing.

Kindermusik - EP
Originally written to be a Crossing Bridges EP, this was the push to make Imisu what it is. Acoustic & dry, along with scenic samples.
Apple Music Spotify Soundcloud
Historic Self - EP
Post-rock and math-rock inspired. Using a Terrance McKenna quote, and Donnie Darko. Historic Self is a psychedelic dream experience.

Kinder Yet Frayed
Electronic based mini album. Using loop elements & EDM influences. Featuring: Hayley Dare, sampled on the song Good.

It's Always Been You
