Born in 1947 in Paris to Turkish parents, Ghédalia Tazartès is a nomad. He wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. Tazartès 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. Tazartès defies categorization. His music switches from musique concrète to – existing or invented – ethnic music, from poetry to noise, or from loops and collages to sad and extremely beautiful tunes in a second, but it constantly is in fux and coherent.
