Reimagined forms of ancient and devotional music
With new album ‘Nue’ (just released on Brooklyn label RVNG Intl.), Los Angeles resident and composer Tashi Wada (son of Yoshi) also presents his new band containing Julia Holter and percussionist Corey Fogel.
The team effort ranges from minimalistic bagpipes to almost otherworldly song, and creates, in Wada's words: ‘a vision, an endless night of dreams, and a personal history of sorts, full of joys and demons’.
Wada’s compositions give the musicians a canvas to display their rich interaction.
In Japanese, 'Nue' is a mythological creature with the face of an ape, the legs of a tiger and the tail of a snake. In French, it means naked, removed of complexity, exposed, but also raw and essential. This duality, which underlies the album, is embedded in the sound that Tashi Wada and his friends create together on stage.
