deluxe package with a bonus 7" containing hte two 'ave maria' interpretations that were included on the cd version. ghdalia tazarts was born 1947 in paris, where he still lives. he is praised as being one of the most creative european experimental artists and is often mentioned as an important influence on a lot of todays underground music exponents. of course he was on the legendary nurse with wound-list - ghedalia tazartes' music has always been a mystery. it switches from musique concrete 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 flux and coherent. or like andr glucksmann wrote: 'ghedalia tazartes is a nomad. he wanders through music from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. he paves the way for the electric and the vocal paths, between the muezzin psalmody and the screaming of a rocker ghdalia is the orchestra and a pop group all in one person; the solitary opera explodes himself into an infinity of characters. the self is multitude and others. the author and his doubles work without a net, freely connecting the sounds, the rhythms, his voice, his voices. the permanent metamorphosis is a principle of composition, it escapes control, refuses classification. off limits, music descends, cries and screams when it touches the ground.'hinterzimmer records is extremely proud to release one of ghedalia tazartes' major works of the last 20 years, ante-mortem. although simply named 1 to 23, it bears a collection of very diverse tracks, a couple of them connected in a thematical frame, others simply standing for themselves. what holds them all together is first and all tazartes' archetypical voice. one could say that ante-mortem contains some of his harshest ever tracks as well as a couple of his most humorous ones.
