Hoshiko Yamane is a classically trained Japanese violinist and composer based in Berlin, best known as a member of the legendary electronic group Tangerine Dream since 2011. She has released several solo albums and collaborated on various artistic projects, including dance performances and film scores. Trained from the age of four, Yamane graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Violin from Aichi Prefectural University and later from the University of Music and Theatre in Rostock, Germany. She has performed worldwide, including a European tour with Jane Birkin. Her projects include Tansik, KiSeki, and a duo with Eraldo Bernocchi. Eraldo Bernocchi has once again collaborated with Hoshiko Yamane to create their second album, "Sabi," inspired by the Japanese concept of beauty in impermanence and decay. Their albums and live shows are a blend of electronic and acoustic music, featuring Bernocchi's pulsating textures and Yamane's haunting violin melodies. "Sabi" evokes melancholy and nostalgia, capturing the essence of transience and simplicity. Yamane and Bernocchi's latest collaboration explores the Japanese aesthetic of impermanence through minimalist compositions combining electronic and acoustic elements.
