Yoshi Wada w\/ Tashi Wada
\nBerkeley Art Museum
\nNovember 17th, 2013
\n12 NOON<\/p>\n
Composer and Fluxus artist Yoshi Wada turns 70 this year and brings
\none of his unique, live sound experiences to the Berkeley Art Museum.
\nWada will be performing in collaboration with his son, composer Tashi
\nWada, using an odd mixture of instruments that includes acoustic
\nsirens, alarm bells, bagpipe, steel barrel gong, audio generators and
\nreed organ. In Yoshi Wada\u2019s own words: \u201cWhen it comes to experiments
\nwith sound frequencies, I need to get into my inner ear. Inner ear is
\nin my ear. Sound travels deep into my cells. I search for deep and
\nringing sound.\u201d Following this performance Yoshi will give a talk on
\nhis past works and screen video documentation of various pieces.<\/p>\n
Yoshi Wada is a composer and sound installation artist born in 1943 in
\nKyoto, Japan. He studied sculpture at the Kyoto University of Fine
\nArts and later joined the Fluxus movement in 1968 after meeting its
\nfounder George Maciunas. In the early 1970s, Wada began building
\nhomemade musical instruments and writing compositions for them based
\non his personal research in timbre, resonance, and improvisation with
\nthe overtone series. He studied music composition with La Monte Young,
\nNorth Indian singing with Pandit Pran Nath, and Scottish Bagpipe with
\nJames McIntosh and Nancy Crutcher. Wada has presented his work at The
\nKitchen, New York; New Music in America, New York; Whitney Biennial,
\nNew York; Akademie der Kunste, Berlin; Emily Harvey Gallery, New York;
\nBiennale of Sydney, Australia; Festival d\u2019Automne, Paris; PS1, New
\nYork; Venice Biennale; and AV Festival, Newcastle, UK. His recorded
\nworks are available via Japanese record labels EM Records\/Omega Point.<\/p>\n
Tashi Wada was born in New York and lives in California. He received a
\ndegree in music composition from California Institute of the Arts
\nfollowing his studies with James Tenney. Wada\u2019s compositions use
\napparently simple structures to generate rich and unanticipated
\nperceptual effects. He performs regularly in the United States and
\nEurope, often in collaboration with other artists including Charles
\nCurtis, Stephan Mathieu and his father Yoshi Wada.<\/p>\n
