YPY
YPY は、Goat、Bonanzasのコンポーザーとしても知られ、自身のソロ活動としてはベルリンのNousよりヴァイナルをリリース、またカセットテープレーベル“birdFriend"も自ら主宰するジャパニーズアンダーグラウンドエレクトロニックシーンにおける超重要人物。サンプラー、ドラムマシン、アナログシンセ、ノイズマシン、カセットMTRなどを用いて、アナログゆえに生じるリズム、音程のズレにフォーカスしたミニマル、インダストリアな実験的電子音楽を展開。
YPY is a solo project by an Osaka-based musician Koshiro Hino who also plays a central role in the bands Goat and Bonanzas. The compositions he produce for the bands are marked by the frequent use of muted sounds and overtones, while actively employing the sounds that are not part of the standard chromatic scale. Its primitive feel gets often referred to the current techno scene and was credited for achieving a new original style by elaborately synthesizing experimental and dance music. Two of Goat’s albums have been released until today from the prominent experimental label HEADZ in Japan, and numerous works have been produced alongside under the moniker of YPY from his own cassette label birdFriend. His wide-ranging solo works consist a pinch of humor added on top of the musical style he has established in the bands.
