TAZARTES, GHEDALIA - Tazartes Transports

Remastered CD edition of Tazartes Transports, autodidact and outsider composer Ghedalia Tazartes 1980 second LP. This album probably represents the most original example of the artists poetical and personal approach to sound organization. The tracks for Tazartes Transports, recorded in 1977 at Tazartes own studio in Paris, are blends of stream-of-consciousness rippling electro rhythms, outer-national singing styles, collaged field recordings, tape loops, and chants. The musique concrete soundscapes and exotic atmospheres take on a perpetual sense of drift and magical imagination. The listener is spellbound from the start to finish, through the deeply evocative peal of church bells and swirling synthetic textures in track 2, via humid sci-fi scenes and alien avian chatter on track 5, and the lost zones of the closing stages. This edition also includes four Assassins" tracks, originally released on the 2006 mini-CD Les danseurs de la pluie (TES 063CD). The first two of these bonus tracks
