YPY is the electronic music solo project of musician and composer Koshiro Hino.
Alongside YPY, Hino is also active in KAKUHAN, a duo project with cellist Yuki Nakagawa, and leads the rhythm ensemble goat, which has received international recognition for its highly organized, repetition-based structures performed in a band format. Through YPY, he works across multiple contexts—including club music, minimalism, noise, and contemporary music—developing a practice that moves fluidly between the dance floor and experimental sound.
As a composer, his major works include GEIST, a spatial sound performance using multiple loudspeakers and moving performers, and INTERDIFFUSION – A Tribute to Yoshi Wada, composed and performed in collaboration with sound artist FUJI|||||||||||TA.
His rhythm ensemble work Chronograffiti received the 26th Keizo Saji Prize (2025). He also composed the music for the feature film The Invisible Fight, for which he received the Best Composer Award at the Estonian Film Awards (EFTA 2024).
