Yoshi Wada, from the liner notes on the back cover: "Lament For the Rise and Fall of the Elephantine Crocodile" is a vocal and instrumental work, on which I started working in 1979. This recording is meant to be one continuous piece; side A: solo singing & side B: the instrumental music of the bagpipe with singing. The piece itself is an experiment with reed & improvisational singing within the modal structure. The instrument could be played solo or as a drone accompaniment for voice. I originally built the bagpipe instrument out of plumbing fittings & pipes pumped by a large air compressor. I called it "An adapted bagpipe with sympathy". Since that time, the original instrument has been altered and improved for the stability of the air source and accuracy of the tuning.
