Ghedalia Tazartes

One of France's most idiosyncratic talents, Tazartes has since the mid-70's mined a sui generis universe of berserk intoning and wailing glossolalia vocalization, rough hewn tape collage and loose ethno-instrumental mulch, all elements frottaging each other against their inherent grains to much screwy amusement. Ghedalia Tazartes (1947-2021) was a nomad. He wanderere through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another.
