text :=

Marihiko Hara is a composer residing in Kyoto, Japan. Born in 1983. Graduated from Kyoto University. He produces electronic and acoustic, ambient, experimental and beat music. Marihiko also composes music for theatre performances and people involved in many fields, such as visual artists and traditional Japanese instrumentalists. The short movie "COLUMBOS" (Directed by KAWAI + OKMURA) of which he composed the soundtrack, was awarded Silver Dragon for the Best Animated Film at Krakow Film Festival. Marihiko is also a project member of Shiro Takatani (Dumb Type) and a pop group "Rimacona" with a female vocal, Natsuko Yanagimoto.

Polar M is the solo project of Masumi Muranaka who resides in Kyoto, Japan. His beautiful soundscapes are created mostly by electric guitar, and he is also a guitarist for musicians of various genres in Japan. Apart from his own work being regularly played in local cafes, apparel shops and exhibitions, he has also made a series of performances with contemporary improvised dance. Many of his works were used for short films and image arts which have led to various collaborative works. Given that Masumi graduated with a major in image arts and sciences, as well as working as an illustrator, this is perhaps not much a surprise.
