FRANçOISE BARRIèRE / CHRISTIAN CLOZIER - Cordes-ci, cordes-ça / La Discordatura - LP - Pathé Marconi EMI - France - 1972

Clozier and Barrière are the two founders of the GMEB (Groupe de musique expérimentale de Bourges) 

and of the homonymous studio, label and international festival and conquest of electroacoustic music.

"Cordes-ci, cordes-ça / La Discordatura" was published between the Christian Clozier / Jacques Lejeune classic "Lettre À Une Demoiselle / Dichotomie / Petite Suite / D'Une Multitude En Fête" and the other classic holy grail box "Ritratto Di Giovane / Symphonie Pour Un Enfant Seul" by the same Clozier and Barrière. 

So, yes, this is a classic LP of french Musique Concrète of the golden age area. 

Side A 

is devoted to Barrière composition for hurdy gurdy / violin and electronics. 

From distorted baroque to spectralism, hissing and friction, "Cordes-ci, cordes-ça" is a very peculiar piece using the folk oriented hurdy gurdy in a way that would make Keiji Haino jealous. 

Unique!

Side B 

is dedicated to Christian Clozier's "La Discordatura, suite concrète". 

The violin, or violin sounds should we say, are distorted, looped, stretched and electronically transformed in this brilliant exercise of style in seven movements. 

The electroacoustic treatments make sometimes the source barely recognisable. 

An all time classic of concrete music!

GRADING :

M (MINT)

Sealed, never played, new in its original packaging.

NM (NEAR MINT)

Almost perfect copy, never or very rarely played. At worst, one or two surface marks, generally insignificant and due to inner sleeve. This the highest grade for an unsealed record.

EX (EXCELLENT)

Very clean copy, some insignificant surfaces marks (hairlines). This record has been rarely played, on good equipment and treated with care. The cover has very minor flaws: a name or discrete initials, low wear corners, very slight ringwear.

VG + + (VERY GOOD + +)

More surface marks.Minor flaws or cover wear, minor edge wear. This is generally the grade given to a 20 to 50 years old record with a "normal" life, treated with care, but listened and handled regularly by his former owner.

VG + (VERY GOOD +)

Has been played a lot, shows multiple slight surface marks (hairlines) generating background noise between songs but no jump or skips. Cover shows important signs of age and storage (slice corners worn, name, date, dedication, tears, etc. ...). Generally, this record was one of the favorites among previous owner discotheque , went from hand to hand, had to animate some parties and bears the scars of a busy life.

VG (VERY GOOD)

The record is very worn, has been played a lot, shows important scratches that are creating permanent background noises but do not skip or jump. Still listenable (especially at high volume for big sound). The cover is well worn, torn important corner and edge wear, significant traces of marker pen or ... well, the previous grade but more accentuated.

G (GOOD)

Has been played to the hilt (but still playable on some titles), many scratches, crackles a lot while playing, may have jumps or sticks. The cover is very damaged. This record must be very rare to be proposed on sale !
