Marihiko Hara is a Kyoto-based composer and sound artist whose work explores the subtle boundaries between sound, silence, memory, and space. His compositions blend field recordings, acoustic instruments, and electronics into quiet, immersive soundscapes.

Largely self-taught, he began composing while studying lifelong education at Kyoto University. His music spans film, dance, theatre, and installation—evoking the passage of time and the resonance of absence.

Recent film scores include “Kokuho” (dir. Sang-il Lee), selected for Cannes Directors’ Fortnight 2025, and “Deaf Voice” (dir. Kazutaka Watanabe), nominated for the International Emmy Award 2024. He has collaborated with Ryuichi Sakamoto, Damien Jalet, Kohei Nawa, Min Tanaka, NODA MAP, and the Korea National Contemporary Dance Company.

He is also a member of the artist collective Dumb Type, and has released solo and collaborative works internationally. His installations and site-specific compositions have been presented in museums and public spaces, exploring how sound shapes perception. His works were released in various labels around the world, including Malaysia-based mü-nest label.

Hara also leads a peace-driven sound project, creating new works from recordings shared by individuals affected by displacement and violence.

His music has been featured worldwide in films, exhibitions, and performances. He welcomes commissions and interdisciplinary collaborations.
