Description
Ghedalia Tazartes "Diasporas" LP issued by Cobalt (CBL 002) in France, 1979. ****** Rec:m- / Cov:ex ****** Original edition of Tazartès' first record, released way back in 1979 on Cobalt. Originally recorded in 1977 the first half of the disc is "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. Ghedalia Tazartes main instrument is voice but it is the voice of the gypsies, therefore much of his music sounds like songs. Basically Tazartes 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, 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.
