YPY

YPY is a solo project by Koshiro Hino. He runs the cassette label "Birdfriend," which releases underground musicians' works from Japan and abroad, as well as the label "NAKID," which releases contemporary and electronic music. He is a player and composer for the bands "goat" and "bonanzas." His major compositions include "Virginal Variations," a hybrid orchestra that combines classical instruments and electronic music, "GEIST," a theater performance that mixes numerous speakers and musicians, and "INTERDIFFUSION A Tribute to Yoshi Wada," a composition and performance with sound artist FUJI|||||||||||TA. In 2021, the taiko drumming group "Kodo" performed a collection of 89-minute songs that Hino composed during his one-month stay on Sado Island. The resulting music film, "Shiver," directed by Toshiaki Toyoda, was released.
