Born in Japan, Rie Tachikawa began her musical journey at a young age, classically trained in piano and composition. Her early influences ranged from traditional Japanese music to Western classical and electronic music. "Growing up, I was fascinated by the works of Debussy and Satie," Rie recalls. "Their use of impressionism and minimalism greatly impacted my approach to composition." As she progressed in her career, Tachikawa's style evolved, incorporating elements of ambient, techno, and experimental music.
