Osaka composer behind goat, bonanzas and YPY
Hino’s music moves between taut minimalist patterns, modular synth work, and physical band energy. In WAI8 he’s likely to contribute precise pulses and dense texture rather than a melody-led performance.
He comes out of Osaka’s avant-garde and experimental rock lineage, and he runs birdfriend on cassette and NAKID on vinyl. Across goat, bonanzas, GEIST, and YPY, he works where composed structure meets band-room friction and electro-acoustic detail.
He runs both the cassette label birdfriend and the vinyl label NAKID.
