Biography[edit]
Early Life[edit]
Toshifumi Hinata was born in the Ōta ward of Tokyo, Japan. He graduated from Gakushūin High School. After living in both the United States and the United Kingdom, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. He graduated from the University of Minnesota, Duluth, where he studied under pianist Patricia Laliberte. His career in music began upon graduation in 1982.[2]
Career[edit]
After graduating from university, Hinata returned to Japan. There, he established "AVR Corporation" and recording studio "STUDIO AVR" with his brother Daisuke Hinata in 1983. Hinata soon became disillusioned with his classical training and began to explore other forms of music. Influenced by Japanese new age and ambient music, he experimented with analog synthesizers that were popular at the time. He would record and overdub different sounds on analog tapes, then record piano, violin, and other acoustic accompaniments separately. This method became his primary means of creating music. Hinata recorded several new age and ambient albums throughout the late 1980s and 1990s. Afterwards, he focused chiefly on music for television dramas and advertisements. Hinata currently resides in Tokyo and is mainly composing music for documentaries.[3]
