Many of Goodall's recent releases have been under the alias Midori. He explains that he chose this alias so he "couldrecordprojects that were
more ethnic, eastern, or produced for the healing arts" without confusing fans of his othermusic. [5]However, there are also other musical
artists using or known by the name Midori (such as the jazz-punkcombo Midori andthe Japanese violinist Midori Goto).
