Yoshi Wada is a Japanese-born, US-based sound installation artist and musician who, after studying sculpture in Kyoto, moved to New York City and joined the radical interdisciplinary art movement Fluxus in the late ’60s. In the early ’70s, Wada began building homemade musical instruments and writing compositions for them based on his personal research in timbre, resonance and improvisation. He studied music composition with La Monte Young, North Indian singing with Pandit Pran Nath and Scottish bagpipe with James McIntosh and Nancy Crutcher. Physical recorded output from Wada is sparse and much sought after by fans of experimental contemporary classical and electronic music, with only five albums between the early ’80s and late ’00s. Wada's recorded works are published by Japanese record labels EM Records and Edition Omega Point.
