Wada Yoshi

A limited re-press of the horn-drone extravaganza, originally recorded in 1974. Combining four of Wada's self-made "pipehorns" (made from plumbing materials, over three metres in length), with an electronic drone tuned to the electrical current of the performance space, this is a lost masterpiece of early minimalism, placing Wada rightfully in the pantheon with LaMonte Young, Phil Niblock, Maryanne Archer and Alvin Lucier.

Recorded in Syracuse, New York, this recording captures the room-filling complex overtones generated by the ever-shifting interplay of the breathing horns and the constant electronic drone. This is a music of ritual hypnotic power, its heavy low end mass and sense of change within constancy engendering a meditative transcendency.

This edition comes with full colour inner sleeves, including many unseen rare photos from mid 1970s performances and facsimile concert posters.
