Parallel to her own work, she worked with Klaus Dinger (NEU! La Düsseldorf) from 2000. Since 2008, she takes care of Klaus Dinger Archive. Collaboration with Rolf Julius since 2004, with Carl Stone as Realistic Monk since 2015 and with Asmus Tietchens in 2021.

"Miki Yui´s creations emulate nature´s own structures, and they go well beyond trying, they succeed where others fail. Her music is not a river, in fact it overflows in all directions imaginable, and it seems like the sounds and their interaction describe a kind of natural evolution. It´s like watching a web woven in time-lapse, or mashroom or butterfly. Instead of the camera or the microscope it´s the microphone capturing the proceedings from close-up. Thus we experience the energy and life itself, unbridled and unrelenting.”—Detlef Weinrich, Tolouse Lowtrax*

"Starting from a perception of the faintest sounds and noises, Miki Yui develops pieces of music, drawings and sound installations that are subtle references to existents.“ — Erich Franz*
