having studied under prandit pran nath, yoshi wada is far out. wada uses a number of homemade instruments he likes to give names to. "pipe horns" (very long horn-type instruments made from metal plumbing pipe) as well as large reed instruments involving multiple bagpipe-like pipes connected to a large air compressor; due to their appearance, wada named these latter instruments alligator and the elephantine crocodile. his music has been scarcely released on recordings, having seen only two lp releases, on india navigation (1982) and fmp labels. lament for the rise and fall of elephantine crocodile, the appointed cloud and off the wall were reissued by japanese labels em records and editions omega point in 2008. constant electronic drone with wada's DIY "pipehorns" that are tuned to the frequencies of the room. long form drone, heavy, dense, massive, mind expanding, body enveloping, earth shaking, absolute DRONE. forget your existence.
