The reference to Torakusu Yamaha in the title is a nod to how the creation of the piece involved original methods of playing (ie: “hacking”) a Yamaha VSS-30 Sampler/Synthesizer (Torakusu was the 19th Century founder of Yamaha technologies). The piece was later renamed and included in Goff’s “Calumet” collection, released by Taped Rugs in early 2024.

Tracks 1, 4, 6, and 10 have never previously been released by any label, including Taped Rugs.
