JEAN SCHWARZ

 ANTICYCLE II LP

Le Chant Du Monde

Debut album for french composer Jean Schwarz incorporating extra-european influences with many exotic instruments manipulated by magnetic tapes.

Some info on the release:  Very rare debut record from french composer Jean Schwarz on the french Chant du Monde label. Jean Schwarz released consequently records on INA-GRM and on his own Celia Records imprint. Electronics, avant-garde atmospheres, a really obscure record.  Close to the aesthetics of Pierre Henry, Luc Ferrari, Ivo Malec, Edgardo Canton, Arne Nordheim, Michel Puig, Dubravko Detoni and Iannis Xenakis. Anticycle is an example of the extra-European influences. Here Schwarz uses some of the percussion instruments from Musée de l’Homme collection. Bongos, tambours, cymbals, toms, gongs, djimbe, bells and other exotic instruments are skillfully performed by Michel Delaporte and consequently "treated" by Jean Schwarz.

Jean Schwarz has always been the wild man of the GRM, and also of Celia, his own label. He’s been a little rougher, with a little more edge, a little more… angry energy! His musical domiciliary rights are not only in the realms of electroacoustics, but also in jazz and extra-European traditions, for instance through his engagement in the Department of ethnomusicology at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris. These different disciplines show up in Schwarz’s works. The jazz influences can for example be easily detected in “Suite Symphonique” (1988). One of the parts of that piece is even named “Gil” after Gil Evans. “Anticycle” (1972) is an example of the extra-European influences. Here Schwarz uses some of the percussion instruments from Musée de l’Homme collection. In fact, in the LP jacket of the original release of “Gamma Plus” Schwarz provides information about his influences. He says they're primarily his father, Willy Schwarz, the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler, musique concrète pioneer Pierre Schaeffer, rue de l'Université (the University street), Musiques traditionelles (Musée del'Homme), Bud Powell, Charlie Parker and percussion!

Condition: Vinyl lies in very good++ condition, has some marks on both sides and plays with some crackle, while cover lies in excellent- condition, looks perfect, but if you look better it has an extensive split on the bottom back.
