Atsuhiro Ito was born in 1965. He launched his career as a visual artist in the late '80s, and in '98 began presenting sound performances at art exhibitions and so on. Ito made use of fluorescent lighting (which is also an element of his art installations) in the creation of an original sound device called the OPTRON. He continues to refine the instrument while approaching sound from a contemporary-art-based perspective.
YPY is a solo project by an Osaka-based Koshiro Hino who also plays a central role in the Goat and Bonanzas. The compositions he produces 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 and was credited for achieving a new original style. Also,numerous works have been produced alongside under the moniker of YPY from his own cassette label birdFriend. Following his first EP "Visions" release from Berlin-based Nous in 2015, his debut album "Zurhyrethm" is out this June from EM records from Osaka. In 2015, a new project was launched, named "Virginal Variations", which he explores the classic-electronic crossover with a larger ensemble. YPY
