About

Danny Hynds is a Yokohama-based composer and sound artist whose work explores listening, duration, and embodied temporality through electronic performance, installation, and physiological interaction. His recent practice investigates how internal bodily rhythms and states of attention may coexist alongside musical sound, forming what he describes as Temporal Counterpoint: a compositional approach centered on coexistence rather than control.

His works often unfold through sustained duration, reduced materials, and minimal intervention, allowing musical form to emerge gradually through attentive listening. Drawing from performance, sound art, and artistic research, his projects examine how memory, presence, and lived time shape musical experience. Performances and installations have been presented internationally in concert spaces, galleries, research contexts, and site-specific environments.

Hynds currently serves as Project Assistant Professor in the X-Music Lab at Keio University Shonan Fujisawa Campus and works as a sound artist with VIE, Inc., developing performances and installations exploring sound, perception, and embodied interaction.
