GHEDALIA TAZARTES

Diasporas LP

Very limited pressing !
Cobalt CBL002 France
Release date 1979

EXPERIMENTAL CLASSIC
MEGA RARE RECORD !!!

Original copy in superb condition of Ghédalia Tazartès first LP. Recorded in 1977, the now very rare "Diasporas" (a dispersion of a people from their original homeland) is composed almost entirely out of vocal sounds looped and then chanted and sung over in an invented and guttural language, a kind of ethnic sound poetry, except for the occasional French ballad or spoken passage. So we start with a 10 minute suite of songs called "Un amour si grand qu'il nie son objet" (A love so large that it denies its object) and continue down that path until track 4 goes into a little piano and toy piano piece by French electroacoustic composer Michel Chion called "Quasimodo Tango" sung in French, then back to the gypsy-esque music and experimental loops. There are tracks that even sound kind of like a tribal punk rock orgy. Tazartes main instrument is voice but it is the voice of the gypsies, therefore much of his music sounds like songs. Basically he creates a bed of loops and/or drones using taped samples and synthesizers and then sings over them in a style that sounds like gypsy folk music. But it is interrupted by sudden cuts to a child speaking (reciting?), sometimes piano or string instruments stating a new theme, or found sounds, only to cut from that back into a different loop and another song. I don't know why but it all seems to make sense when I hear it, as if I recognize the inner logic without knowing what it means. Ghedalia Tazartes is a nomad. He wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Paris anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies.

CONDITION: COVER : EX / RECORD : EE+ to NM

Mr.Ghedalia Tazartes will drive you out of your mind with the highly sensitive use of experimental vocals, his voice reminds at times gypsy vocals, children's or woman's voice!! Tazartes creates a bed of loops/drones with the use of loops or old synths and sings on the top with result some sort of gypsy folk music!! Originally recorded in 1977 "Diasporas" (a dispersion of a people from their original homeland) and, as far as I can tell, is composed almost entirely out of vocal sounds looped and then chanted and sung over in a language that I don't recognize except for the occasional French ballad or spoken passage. So we start with a 10 minute suite of songs called "Un amour si grand qu'il nie son objet" (A love so large that it denies its object) and continue down that path until track 4 goes into a little piano and toy piano piece by French electroacoustic composer Michel Chion called "Quasimodo Tango" sung in French, then back to the gypsy-esque music and loops. There are tracks that even sound kind of like a tribal punk rock orgy. Fields totally unexplored from every aspect...mystical polyphonies, ethnic influences from all over the world composer a unique puzzle that i doubt you'll find anywhere else!!
