- The Toshiaki Toyoda-directed film is available to stream until the end of the month.
Goat frontman Koshiro Hino, AKA YPY, has teamed up with taiko drumming troupe Kodō in a new film.
Directed by Toshiaki Toyoda, Shiver began with an email from one of Kodō's members, which led to a month-long stay in Sado Island, Japan, where all the film's music was recorded. The film was also shot on the island—mainly inside Kodō Village's rehearsal hall—during Japan's record-heavy snowfall in December 2020.
Shiver is out on Vimeo until the end of February, where it can be rented for $15 for a one-week streaming period.
YPY is the solo project of Goat member and Osaka-based composer Hino. Kodō is a Sado Island-based taiko performing arts ensemble that has been active since 1981.
