HINOSCH are a duo of Koshiro Hino (YPY) from Osaka and Stefan Schneider from Düsseldorf. Fully instrumental, their first full-length album HANDS offers a more steeply focussed approach than its largely improvised predecessor. The overall sound of the album has been honed down through meticulous studio engineering. One of the outstanding qualities of HANDS certainly is an unprejudiced approach of sound and song structures. The instrumentation is con?dently reduced to a small range of analogue and digital machines. Snatches of tape-loops deliver lower-pitched vocal and drum machine samples.
