Audio engineering by Chung Wan Choi. About the piece: The name "Hachidan Uchi" means "hitting eight sides" and it is Soh Daiko's signature piece. Written by Peter Wong & Jennifer Wada and based on the iconic composition "Yodan Uchi" ("hitting four sides") which was developed by the seminal Tokyo taiko ensemble Sukeroku Taiko (now known as Oedo Sukeroku Daiko). The basic style and core elements were originally taught to Soh Daiko by Grandmaster Seiichi Tanaka (of the San Francisco Taiko Dojo) who had learned it from Sukeroku Taiko. Soh Daiko took these elements and expanded it into Hachidan. About Soh Daiko: Established in 1979 as the first taiko ensemble on the East Coast, Soh Daiko has a 35-year performance history that includes some of the most prestigious venues and largest arts events in New York and beyond, including: Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall, SummerStage, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The American Museum of Natural History, The Smithsonian, and Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. Soh Daiko also performs annually at many local festivals including Brooklyn Botanic Garden's hugely popular Sakura Matsuri (Cherry Blossom festival), Japan Day @ Central Park festival, the Asian Pacific American Heritage Festival, the New York Obon Festival. Soh Daiko's repertoire ranges from the traditional to the contemporary, from whisper quiet to the thunderous. Paired with dynamic choreography, they create an electrifying performance experience for audiences young and old. Soh Daiko has been featured on NPR, Sesame Street, and Reading Rainbow, and has also performed with KoЯn and Kanye West.
