Recordings 1955-91 Vol. 1
Henri Chopin (1922-2008) was one of the most significant and influential avant-garde, sound and concrete poets of the second half of the 20th century. In his work as a sound poet, he was an early practitioner of a complex vocal art which he described and defined as poésie sonore , in which he used his voice, a microphone, and elementary "home" recording technologies to manipulate a vast tapestry of sounds with his compositions.

Recordings 1975-1979

He was also among the early designers and users of “hand-built,” microprocessor-based, sound manipulation equipment to use in the production of his recorded work as well as in his on-stage performances. Active in the audio cassette culture of that time, many of his works were released and distribu…
Works 1977-79
French artist and autodidact Ghédalia Tazartès who is born in Paris in 1947 is a true nomad spending more than 30 years within musical practice and experimentation. Ghedalia is the orchestra and a pop group all in one person: the self is multitude and others, freely connecting the sounds, the rhythms, his voice, his voices. The extra-European music open the ear to Ghedalia's intra-European exotism. The permanent metamorphosis is a principle of composition, it escapes control, refuses classificat…

Demos 1982 (12'')
Originally released on tape as Demo Winter 82, the Luton-based siblings’ debut preserves a remarkably well developed, innovative take on then-emergent styles; whether short-circuiting synth-pop with “real” drums, or rewiring post-punk without guitars, they evidently eked a distinctive style from that era’s creative uprising.
From the top, Exit sounds like a strange hybrid of The Human League and The Buzzcocks, whereas the swaggering, pulsating Documents pits tribal toms and breathless vox r…
