This is the first-ever release of the extraordinary 1987 performance of
Yoshi Wada
's interactive sound installation
The Appointed Cloud
, recorded in the Great Hall of the New York Hall of Science. This majestic recording captures 60 minutes of sound produced by a self-made 80-pipe organ, a pipe gong, sirens and a massive suspended metal sheet, all triggered by a computer program designed by
David Rayna
. The CD also features Wada,
Bob Drombowski
and
Wayne Hankin
on bagpipes, plus
Michael Pugliese
(percussion). Dramatically structured, shifting and intense,
The Appointed Cloud
features massive low frequencies and regal percussion vying with the ululations of bagpipes, all resounding in the huge, reverberant space of the Great Hall with its 24-meter ceiling. This CD, the second Yoshi Wada release as a joint production of EM Records and Omega Point (the first being the reissue of 1982's
Lament For The Rise and Fall of the Elephantine Crocodile
), is sure to delight all who enjoy drones, dynamics and drama. "
His creation explores the effects of low, rumbling bass sounds and the higher, ringing tones of the organ as they reverberate off the curving walls of the space ... The work continues Wada's fascination with producing sub-sonic sounds -- sound frequencies so low that it seems the sounds are produced by the inner ear rather than an outside source
." --from the liner notes
