Tazartes, Ghedalia “Tazartes’ Transports” [Alga Marghen]

Experimental electronic sounds from 1977 synthesize with mostly modern minimalist programming circa 1997. These rare & reissued ‘transports? are Ghedalia Tazartes debut recordings plus three additional & more recent creations. Structuring confusing sounds in nonstandard patterns seems to be Tazartes? distinct concentration. Rather than create some horrible sustained racket, Tazartes employs ascending electronic frequencies, ambient whale sonar, reverse loop chants and demonic rant ramblings, exotic mantras, oscillating ratchet laser, squeaky dolphin clicks, piano calm, palpitating vibrations, blooping spacey-ness, sample effects & noise distractions, shrill electronic interference, kooky nasal hums, critter chirping, dark ambient dirges, sitars & pan flute s’ances, repetitive poetic phrase interpretation, drones, melodic sad tones, orchestral inquisitions and MUCH MORE! Strikingly innovative and fluctuating compositions that never reveal its destination or the trajectory route it follows. Out and out weirdness that is enthralling from start to finish. Not your average sound manipulator? Ghedalia Tazartes is one mystical modulation master!
