Cat No = Celia Records - CL8004 (small private pressing on Schwarz own label)
Born (1939) in Lille, France, Jean Schwarz studied music in Paris and at Versailles Conservatory. He divided his activities between jazz drumming, composition, and the study of non-European music. In 1969, he joined the GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) contributing his unique vision to musique concrète. In the same year, he also worked as an engineer and researcher at the Centre National de Recherche Scientifique in the ethnomusicology department of the Musée de l'Homme in Paris. In 1977, Schwarz created courses for electroacoustic music at Gennevilliers Conservatory. He founded Celia Records in 1980 releasing a vast catalogue of his own works as well as many collaborations.
As a composer, Schwarz favours electronic sounds — the raw material from which he creates large architectural forms and powerful, vigorous sonic structures. Schwarz also takes inspiration from non-European and indigenous musical forms. In his works involving live instruments, he often combines a pre-recorded tape with brilliant improvisations by jazz musicians. His compositions include works for concert performance (some purely acousmatic, others employing live instruments), for cinema (music for Jean-Luc Godard, Serge Moati, Michel Deville,Gérard Follin, Michel Léviant, Gérard Blain, Charles Belmont, Mosco, Marlène Ionesco, and Alain Resnais), dance (for the choreographers Carolyn Carlson, Dominique and Françoise Dupuy, Larrio Ekson, Serge Campardon), and equestrian theatre for the French horse trainer Bartabas.
Regarding the condition. I no longer have a deck to test this but the playing surface looks free of marks, the previous owner has however stated that track 1 of side 1 and track 1 of side 2 does skip in a couple of places. This could be due to the system or stylus used though rather than the vinyl. I wanted to highlight this to a potential buyer.No visible scratches or blemishes. The sleeve has no rips or blemishes with the tiniest of creases in the top left hand corner. Hopefully the photos will do it justice but any questions, please feel free to ask.
ALL PAYMENTS TO BE MADE WITHIN 3 DAYS OF THE AUCTION ENDING PLEASE. I WILL RECORD A NON-PAYMENT AFTER THIS. THANK YOU. If you're going to be away or on holiday etc then please let me know.
