Saltern present the first-time vinyl edition of
Yoshi Wada
's
The Appointed Cloud
(1987), a work which Wada has often said is his favorite of his own. Staged at the Great Hall of the New York Hall of Science,
The Appointed Cloud
was Wada's first large-scale, interactive installation and featured a custom pipe organ, among other homemade instruments, controlled by a computer with a customized interface and software designed by engineer
David Rayna
, known for his work with
La Monte Young
. This recording captures the opening performance for which Wada brought together four musicians on bagpipes (Wada,
Bob Dombrowski
, and
Wayne Hankin
) and percussion (
Michael Pugliese
) to perform with the installation, operated by David Rayna. Remastered from the original master tape by
Stephan Mathieu
, and cut to vinyl via Direct Metal Mastering by
Hans-Jörg Maucksch
at Pauler Acoustics. Pressed at RTI and printed at Stoughton. Includes a digital download of the album. Edition of 600.
In Wada's own words: "This performance [of
The Appointed Cloud
] was one of most memorable performances I've done. The space itself -- the Great Hall of the New York Hall of Science -- was incredible. The building was designed for the 1964-65 World's Fair and had spaceships hanging from the ceiling so people felt like they were traveling in outer space. It was an amazing experience with the sound of the pipe organ, sheet metal, pipe gong, and bagpipes all together. 60 minutes may seem like a long duration, but it didn't feel like it."
