Cidelo Ihos

Description
"Cidelo Ihos" is the name of instruments co-created by the metal artist Kazuo HARADA (原田和男) and the percussionist Yasunori YAMAGUCHI (山口恭範).
These instruments are used in the following works by Maki Ishii:
- Fū-Shi (1989, op. 84)
-
The instruments' list (organico strumentale) for Fū-Shi calls for:
- one "cidelo ihos/quadrate" for percussion group 1
- one "cidelo ihos/hexagonal" for percussion group 3
- one "cidelo ihos/quadrate" for percussion group 6
Remarks: a) The "hexagonal" appears to be a mistake for "octagonal". Also we are confident that one of the "quadrate" can be exchanged with the stretched "octagonal" instrument.
- Saidōki (1989-1992, op. 86)
-
The instruments' list (organico strumentale) for Saidōki calls for:
- one "cidelo ihos" (to be put on top of a timpani)
- one "contra (大) cidelo ihos" (大 stand for 'big', 'large')
- one "satellit-cidelo ihos"
Remarks: We currently know of no conclusive assignment of these three to the ones pictured below. If we had to guess, we would suggest to use the rectangle one on top of the timpani, the stretched octagonal one as "contra", and the equilateral octagonal Cidelo as "satellit". But the performer may find a different setting preferable.
