Japanese sound artist Masami Tada had participated in the workshop of Takehisa Kosugi at Bigakko in 1970’s. His name is known as a main member of legendary improvisation group "East Bionic Symphonia" and "GAP" in mid '70s (both LPs released by ALM Records are extremely rare as you know). Nowadays Tada is mostly interested in photo installations and sound performance - he called 'sound encounter' - used many bamboo cylinder and some amplified objects. All CDs are released from SOH Gallary in Tokyo.
Spacious improvisation with sound objects (bamboo, branches, beanbags, line) and live electronic sounds (mini-synths, effecter on wall, voice, body and video image). Gradually enveloping and slowly progressing minimal sound loops of a very hypnotic nature. In gorgeous three fold digipack with reflective panels. Texts are in Japanese and English.
