1971年12月7日和歌山県新宮市生まれ。5歳よりヴァイオリンを始める。バロック音楽に魅了され、小学生の頃から独学で作曲を始める。高校時代にジャズと邂逅、また、ジョン・ゾーンへの心酔を契機に現代音楽に心惹かれるようになる。一方で、ショスタコーヴィチの交響曲に強い感銘を受け、本格的な作曲の修行を決意する。
高校卒業後紆余曲折を経て渡米、イーストマン音楽院で作曲をクリストファー・ラウス、ジョセフ・シュワントナー両氏に師事する。バタイユ、クロソウスキー、マンディアルグ、ジュネら20世紀フランスの作家・思想家に傾倒し、授業もそっちのけで多くの時間を読書、そして作曲に費やす。
紆余曲折を経て同院中退、その後帰国。さらなる紆余曲折を経て2001年に劇伴作曲家としてデビュー。以来今日に至るまで数多くのサウンドトラックを世に送り出している。
文学・哲学から落語・モードファッション、さらには動物・昆虫・素粒子までこよなく愛する好奇心旺盛な作曲家。ただし幼少時のトラウマ体験により芋虫恐怖症。

Yoshihisa Hirano was born in the Wakayama Prefecture of Japan on Dec.7th, 1971. Having been attracted to baroque music, he started to study composition by himself as an elementary student. He found jazz in high school. He enthused over the music of great jazz masters such as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Eric Dolphy and John Coltrane. His admiration of them once gave him dreams of becoming a jazz musician, but he then discovered contemporary music. Specifically he gained interest in the works of John Zorn, one of the musicians who had the biggest influence on him in his youth. On the other hand, symphonies by Shostakovich also greatly impressed him, and helped him make up his mind to study composition seriously.
After many twists and turns, he moved to the United States. He entered Eastman School of Music in NY and studied composition with Christopher Rouse and Joseph Schwantner. Getting engrossed in books by 20th century french writers and thinkers including Bataille, Klossowski, Mandiargues and Genet, he spent most of his time reading and composing rather than attending classes.
After many twists and turns, he quit the school. He made his debut as a film composer in 2001. Thereafter he has composed a large number of soundtracks of TV shows, films and games.
