Lisa Mizuno & MISOLA^JP

LISA MIZUNO is a DJ and artist with a profound history of soul-searching. She perceives music and dance not merely as entertainment, but as spiritual forces that connect communities and transcend the individual — a form of collective prayer. This philosophy lies at the core of her artistic expression, creating immersive experiences that speak directly to the deepest layers of human consciousness and emotion.

As the organizer of the Resonance event series, she skillfully integrates the essential elements of traditional Japanese culture — ma (space), wa (harmony), and inori (prayer) — into contemporary experiences. Her vision extends beyond music itself, influencing spatial design and physical expression, resulting in holistic and modern rituals.

In her DJ performances, LISA MIZUNO’s sound is a multifaceted and experimental journey. Her sets unfold as dynamic, fluid soundscapes that guide listeners through a spectrum of emotions and states of being. Through this innovative and deeply personal approach, she has established a distinctive and vital presence within the electronic music landscape — offering not just performances, but truly transformative experiences.

MISOLA is a digital artist and VJ based between Tokyo and Kamakura. At 15, he assisted on a NONOTAK installation, which had a strong influence on his path. He later studied CG in high school and began releasing work under the name by N after graduating, developing his practice through installations, projections, and exhibitions.

In 2023, at 19, he joined as a VJ for the ambient live performance of NITEMOVES, the solo project of Rory O’Connor, marking the start of his full-scale activity.

His work blends creative coding and interactive visuals to produce improvised audiovisual performances that respond to sound, space, and audience. By manipulating node-based parameters in real time, each performance becomes unique and unrepeatable.

Exploring the intersection of technology and art, MISOLA creates immersive experiences combining glitch, prism-like effects, and organic-digital textures.

He has performed at events and venues such as MUTEK.JP, Clubasia, Circus Tokyo, and R Lounge, among others.
