GHÉDALIA TAZARTÈS, BEN VIDA, RABIH BEAINI aka Morphosis
GHÉDALIA TAZARTÈS
A French musician of Turkish parentage, Ghédalia Tazartès is an
uncompromising character who defies categorization. Born 1947 in Paris,
is one of France’s most idiosyncratic talents. He has spent over 30
years within musical practice and experimentation, letting his musical
work wander from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. Utilising
magnetic tape recorders into a rough collage and loose
ethno-instrumental mulch, 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.
