Title:	Tazartès' Transports
Label:	ALGA MARGHEN (ITALY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$17.00
Catalog #:	ALGA 011CD

2006 repress of this 2nd CD, originally released 1998. "Probably represents the most original example of the artist's poetical and personal approach to sound organisation. The material of the first track, which gives also the title to this CD, was recorded in 1977 at the artist's own studio in Paris; the CD reprint of this mixed atmospheres masterpiece is followed by 'Transports 1' and 'Transports 2', both composed in 1997 for a theatre piece. We are here in front of a different kind of transport, where the more complex and powerful sound material contributes to create the dense, monolithic structure of these previously unreleased tracks. 'Elie', a piano piece performed in duo with the composer's young daughter, brings a poetic and more relaxing magic to end the program."

"More than 5 years after the CD edition of Eclipse totale de soleil and Transportes, Alga Marghen finally decided to also reissue the first and the forth LP by Ghedalia Tazartes including both on one CD. Ghedalia Tazartes is a nomad. He wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. He paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker. He traces vague landscapes where the mitre of the white clown, the plumes of the sorcerer, the helmet of a cop and Parisian anhydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies. Don't become a black, an Arab, a Tibetan monk, a Jew, a woman or an animal but to feel all this stirring deep inside of you. The greatest trips are made in the deep end of the throat: the extra-European music open the ear to Ghedalia's intra-European exotism. Where was music before music halls? Where was the voice before it learned how to speak? Ghedalia is the orchestra and a pop group all in one person: the self is multitude and others. The author and his doubles work without a net, freely connecting the sounds, the rhythms, his voice, his voices. The permanent metamorphosis is a principle of composition, it escapes control, refuses classification. To hell with the technocrates of noise and the purists of synthetic culture. All art like all true mythology use a double clavier, playing nature and culture, feeling and the distance of the flesh, death. Off limits!"
