*Ripper's note: This is a split release between EM and Omega
Point (OP-0007).
A world premiere from Yoshi Wada and EM Records/Omega Point:
the first-ever release of "Earth Horns with Electronic Drone",
recorded live in 1974. Combining four of Wada's self-made
"pipehorns" (made from plumbing materials, over three meters
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 La Monte Young, Phill Niblock, Maryanne Amacher and Alvin
Lucier.
Recorded live 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.
"Earth Horns with Electronic Drone" is the fourth and ultimate
release in our Yoshi Wada series, a must for all fans of
minimalism, heavy drones, ritual, mystery and world-shaking
transcendence. From an original performance of almost three
hours, the CD features a 77 minute excerpt; we are especially
honored to also offer the full performance as a triple LP set.
From Earth Horns to beyond the firmament: prepare to be
elevated!
