Daisuke Miyatani has been played on NTS shows including Tara Clerkin Trio, with Rain Melodies first played on 26 June 2022.

Daisuke Miyatani (宮谷大作) was born in 1982 and started composing in 2004. The theme of his music is daily life. He lives on the Awaji Island in Japan and usually works in a bookshop. Maybe that is where he finds the rest and silence to create his fragile compositions. Or it is his Japanese cultural background that leads to the calm, haiku-like miniatures. Daisuke establishes a reduced and minimal approach mostly based on guitars, accompanied by xylophones and other instruments. The songs have an open character, with a lot of silence, and repetition. These elements are contrasted with more ambient-like, electronically composed material.
