Yoshi Wada
Off the Wall
FMP - SAJ 49
1985
"Maybe one of the most important albums of 20th century minimalism, this is the elusive "Off the wall" LP from japanese experimentalist, instrument-builder Yoshi Wada. In this album you can listen to the sounds of a five-octave range homemade organ pipe, connected with a central machine, spreading the sound all over the room, where the music is played, this is a loud and nearly metaphysical minimalist experience. Deeply beautiful! Gatefold cover with some fantastic pictures of the instruments and the players on action with notes by Tom Johnson. Wada, was also known for singing on a massive echoing tunnel and some massive air compressors."
"A must have album for fans of La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Harry Partch, Nurse with wound, Organum, P16.D4, FMP, Borbetomagus, Alvin Lucier, Phil Niblock, Maryanne Amacher, Kristina Kubisch, Biota, Mnemonists, Stockhausen, Pierre Henry, Ragnar Grippe, Luc Ferrari"
