1984年6月3日、東京生まれ東京育ち。日本大学芸術学部写真学科中退。 20歳よりSlipstreamとして音楽活動し、POPGROUPよりデビュー。又DJ/ProducerとしてMadskippers RecordingsやWeekend Warriorzで活躍。巨大なサウンドシステムが作り出す空間と時間のアート。フューチャリスティックな電子音と原始的なリズムが奏でるグルーヴが瞑想そして覚醒へと導く、実験的なダンスミュージックの不思議な力にのめり込み、2015年ドイツベルリンへ移り住む。そこでえた貴重な経験と自由な体験。出会った考えや価値観。触れた様々な表現。それらは人生の道標となる。 さらなる冒険を求め、翌年秋カリフォルニアの内陸部大自然の旅へ。2ヶ月間の山でのテント暮らしでは、雲海に囲まれた山頂で朝日と共に瞑想し、大自然の中で集中力と精神を研ぎ澄ませた。そして旅で出会った仲間と共に、彼らの生まれ育ったメキシコのヒッピーコミューンなど各地を巡り、深い文化や歴史、生活やDIYの精神、アートに強い感銘を受けた。その後カリフォルニアの山に戻り、運命の出会いを果たす。滞在先の友の飼う一匹の狼、エラ。警戒心の強い野生を持つ狼が、心を開き家族として私を許した瞬間の感動、野生動物の持つ強さと優しさや愛情。その狼と過ごした2ヶ月のインスピレーションは、NYを拠点に活躍する抽象画家であるChristian Calabroと共に初めて抽象画を描く機会には、すでに原動力となり、描く意味を与えた。
2017年日本へ戻り、音楽活動と並行して絵を描き続けた。旅で得た着想、自然の壮大さや美しさ、文化や歴史、人間の悲しい行い、アニミズム、八百万の神を信じる神道文化、文字を描きその内を表現する習字、そして狼との暮らしで感じた野生の愛。それらにインスパイアされ、“Disappeared Animals”というテーマにたどり着いた。精神を集中し感覚を研ぎ澄ませ、キャンバスに向かい合い瞑想する。流れや動きをエネルギーとして筆を重ね、浮かび上がる消えていった動物たちの魂の姿。自然界を一つの包み込むのは愛という壮大なバランス。私たち人間だけがそれを乱し破壊する。この二つの世界を繋ぐ窓を開き、この世界に本当の愛を伝える。
Born on June 3, 1984, in Tokyo, Japan, Mu Raki has carved a unique path as an artist and musician. After beginning his studies at Nihon University College of Art, Department of Photography, he decided to pursue his passion for music, launching his career at the age of 20 under the name Slipstream. His debut came through POPGROUP, followed by his work as a DJ and producer for Madskippers Recordings and Weekend Warriorz.
His music, a fusion of futuristic electronic sounds and primal rhythms, creates an immersive experience that transcends space and time. This approach to experimental dance music, characterized by its meditative and awakening qualities, eventually led him to Berlin, Germany, in 2015. The city's vibrant culture and diverse artistic expressions became a profound influence, shaping his creative outlook.
In search of further inspiration, Mu Raki embarked on a wilderness journey to California later that year. Spending two months living in a tent in the mountains, he immersed himself in nature, meditating at sunrise on mist-covered peaks, and exploring the depths of his concentration and spirit. This journey also took him to a hippie commune in Mexico, where he was deeply moved by the local culture, history, and DIY spirit.
Returning to the California mountains, Mu Raki had a transformative encounter with Ella, a wolf belonging to a friend. The bond he formed with the wary, wild creature profoundly impacted him, revealing the strength, kindness, and love inherent in nature. This experience became a wellspring of inspiration, fueling his first foray into abstract painting with New York-based artist Christian Calabro.
In 2017, Mu Raki returned to Japan, where he continued to explore both music and painting. His work is heavily influenced by the inspirations he gathered from his travels, the grandeur and beauty of nature, the complexities of human behavior, and the spiritual depth of animism and Shintoism. His art, particularly his "Disappeared Animals" series, reflects a deep connection to the natural world. Through meditation and a sharpened focus, he channels the spirits of extinct animals, portraying the delicate balance of love that sustains nature—a balance often disrupted by humanity. Through his art, he seeks to bridge the gap between these worlds, conveying a message of true love and reverence for life.
