Noboru Mutoh
Music Producer / Sound Director

History

I started to learn the piano in my childhood, and that was the beginning of my interest in composing. The first time I heard the sound of a drum machine I was overcome with intense emotions. It was from this moment that I became interested in dance music. The first time I heard the Chemical Brothers’ album ‘Exit Planet Dust’ I experienced the feeling of pure bliss, my mind had been awoken. I got into their music and I was very interested in Techno. I started to make dance music as ‘metalmouse’ with Yukitoshi Kihana.

In Feb 2006, My first record was released from ‘Federation Of Drums’ that is a Techno label owned by W.J.Henze who is one of the greatest techno composers from Germany. After that, I released 4 techno vinyl and I was glad to hear that my track was playing at a radio show hosted by Ben Sims(Techno Artist), and my body was filled with satisfaction. There was an offer to compose from Cyndi Lauper, it made me intensely excited, however, it didn’t realize. As metalmouse, there are 2 albums, 5 EPs and 2 singles. Also, there are a lot of remix work for Genki Rockets, Steve Aoki, Dragonette, and others.
