Yoshi Wada is a Japanese sound installation artist and musician living in the United States. 

Born in Japan, Wada joined the Fluxus movement in 1968 after meeting George Maciunas. Wada's works often incorporate the use of drone and are usually performed at very high volume, allowing for the overtones within the sound to be heard very clearly.

He frequently performs his own compositions, which feature much freedom of improvisation, on Scottish highland bagpipe and voice, and also employs a number of homemade instruments.  

Wada is also known for his mechanical and robotic installations. In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the mid-1990s, he performed a whimsically entitled piece, Lament for the Rise and Fall of Handy-Horn, in which several compressed-air "auditory flare" signals used for nautical emergencies (the "Handy Horn" brand named in the title) were sounded for the duration of their usefulness, giving rise to an alarmingly high-decibel air-pressure environment and charged psychoacoustic environment.

Else Marie Pade (2 December 1924 – 18 January 2016) was a Danish composer. She was educated as a pianist at the Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium (Royal Danish Academy of Music) in Copenhagen. 

She studied composition first with Vagn Holmboe, and later with Jan Maegaard, from whom she learned twelve-tone technique. 

Else Marie Pade was the first person in Denmark, and among the first people in the world, to compose concrete and electronic music. She worked with Pierre Schaeffer and Karlheinz Stockhausen, as well as Pierre Boulez.

Here is a more extended article about her in thewire magazine.

Musician Dan Hayhurst and animator Reuben Sutherland’s output as Sculpture manipulates electronic music, kinetic art, comic strips and abstract animation into idiosyncratic polymedia cut ups.

The duo’s live performances are central to this process. 

Sutherland’s visual turntablism employs a library of zoetropic cards, printed with intricate patterns which come to life when filmed with a video camera, projecting looping fragments of surreal, luridly coloured imagery at 25 frames per second – mechanical imaging technology combined with digital video and software based practice. 

Hayhurst feeds tape loops, lo-fi electronics and digital sequences through a battered reel to reel tape recorder, computer, walkman, sampler and FX units. The result is a multi-sensory overload, the process of its generation observable throughout.

In their new video "Untitled”, turntable animation, optical illusions and hypnotic screen burn freakouts bring Sculpture's electronics to life.

Fiilmic installation of Sound Seam, Aura Satz's collaboration with Aleks Kolkowski, which premiered at the Great North Museum Hancock in Newcastle as part of the AV Festival 2010. 

The film uses microscopic close-ups of gramophone grooves and the anatomy of the ear, while the accompanying music, composed by Aleks Kolkowski, includes wax cylinder recordings and otoacoustic sounds emitted by the ear. 

The intriguing forensic love story, which draws on the German poet Rilkes 1919 suggestion to play the coronal suture of the skull with a gramophone needle, is revealed by listening to the multi-channel soundtrack through a theatrical array of gramophone and phonograph horns, ear trumpets and an 8ft Auxetophone horn.
