The Taj Mahal Travellers (also given variously as Taj Mahal Travelers, Taj-Mahal Travellers, etc.) were a Japanese experimental
music ensemble founded in 1969 by former Group Ongaku leader and Fluxus member Takehisa Kosugi. The rest of the group were
several years younger than Kosugi, and were all inspired by the spirit of the day. They chose mainly to perform their music out
of doors, often on beaches and hilltops, creating spontaneously improvised drones (compare with Dronology), often using
standard musical instruments, albeit in unconventional ways (e.g., a bowed double bass placed flat on its back). The group's
sound was heavily reliant on electronic processing, particularly delay effects.
