Table of Visions
Tashi Wada with Alexander Provan

A digital project, part of Two Ears and One Mouth, Omniaudience

Tashi Wada is a Los Angeles–based composer and performer whose works explore harmonic overtones, resonance, and dissonance through precise tuning and gradual changes in pitch. Grounded in the belief that “music should be as direct as possible,” Wada's compositions use apparently simple structures to generate rich and unanticipated perceptual effects. Wada works in relation to American experimental music, microtonal music, and so-called drone music; his practice is also informed by interdisciplinary performance and Fluxus-affiliated artists. He studied composition at CalArts with James Tenney and for many years performed alongside his father, the composer Yoshi Wada. He founded and runs the label Saltern. His most recent album, Nue, was released by RVNG Intl. in 2018.
Alexander Provan is the editor of Triple Canopy and a contributing editor of Bidoun. He is the recipient of a 2015 Creative Capital | Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant and was a 2013–15 fellow at the Vera List Center for Art and Politics. His writing has appeared in the Nation, n+1, Art in America, Artforum, Frieze, and in several exhibition catalogues. His work has been presented at the 14th Istanbul Biennial, Museum Tinguely (Basel), 12th Bienal de Cuenca (Ecuador), New Museum (New York), Kunsthall Oslo, and Hessel Museum of Art (Annandale-on-Hudson, New York), among other venues. Measuring Device with Organs was recently published by Triple Canopy as an LP.

Table of Visions was published as part of Triple Canopy’s Internet As Material project area, which receives support from the Stolbun Collection, Agnes Gund, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council, and the New York State Council on the Arts. Table of Visions is generously supported by Steinway & Sons.
