Jun Futamata is a composer and singer based in Japan. She expresses a one-of-a-kind sound world with her innocent and clear voice and her unique compositional style that builds on layers of voices.
After studying improvisation based on chord progressions in New York, she participated in numerous sessions with talented musicians from around the world.
Since returning to Japan, she has worked extensively on films, TV dramas, animation, games, commercials, and soundtracks.
Her recent career includes composition, arrangement, and vocals for the Sumitomo Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai, participation in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and vocals for popular anime series such as Pokemon and My Hero Academia. She has recently written and arranged for several primetime TV dramas and movies.
In 2021, she released her debut solo album, GRAVITY, which debuted at #1 on the iTunes New Age chart, and in 2024 she released her second album, When Your Bones Turn Into Opal, recorded in Iceland.
Her recent works weave together elements of ambient, post-classical, environmental sound, minimalism, and electronica-garnering attention for their quiet strength and emotional sophistication.

Tech x Copper is an experimental collaboration between Leifur Björnsson and drummer/percussionist Sólrún. Built from analog synth sketches, voice notes, and half-formed ideas, the project explores rhythm, memory, and fractured experience, somewhere between structure and drift.
The material has come together over time, scraps and sounds collected alongside other projects, shaped into something of its own. Sólrún's rhythmic presence brings weight and motion, nudging the music into its own shape. The upcoming debut EP is co-produced with Howie B and features vocals by Ásta Fanney.
