Ghédalia Tazartès and Michel Chion- March 2011
Penultimate Press and Cenatus present two disparate figures from the French experimental tradition of musique concrète: Two nights featuring musical outsider Ghédalia Tazartès and the next his mentor and friend, the theoretician, producer and musician Michel Chion.
24 March 2011
Michel Chion will present the world premiere of Live In Prose, A Symphony Concrète. This piece was composed in the period 2006-2010 and has been previously been only in extracts and drafts in Paris, Montreal Canada and Yokohama, Japan. The entire work is "for fixed sounds".
Michel Chion was born in 1947 in Creil (France). In the 70's he was assistant to Pierre Schaeffer at the Paris' Conservatoire national de musique, producer of broadcasts for the GRM, and publications director for the Ina-GRM, of which he was a member from 1971 to 1976. Parallel to these activities, he composed important musique concrète works in the studios of the GRM including the classic 'Requiem'.
25 March 2011
Ghédalia Tazartès will present an idiosyncractic solo performance for voice and electronics. His public appearances remain exceptional events as he rarely performs in concert.
Additional acts to be announced.
The autodidact Ghédalia Tazartès, born 1947 in Paris has spent 30+ years within musical practice and experimentation, letting his musical work wander from chant to rhythm, from one voice to another. Utilising magnetic tape recorders, he 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 an hydride collide into polyphonic ceremonies. Don’t become a black, an arab, a Tibetan monk, a jew, a woman or an animal but to feel all this stirring deep inside of you.”

020 7923 1231

Mark Harwood of Penultimate Press present on Friday 6 August 2010.
Lambkin will read selections from first book of writings 'Dumb Answer to Miracles' (2009), alongside other works. The evening also marks the release of a new Penultimate Press book 'Dripping Junk' comprising 100 drawings Lambkin made during a recent trip to Miami FL.
Call Back The Giants is the new project by former Shadow Ring keyboard governor Tim Goss. Their brooding synth melodrama speaks of internal struggle, of consoling brutality, of a fantasy world where the author is king. For fans of Jasun Martz, Dr. Jeff Meldrum, Whitehouse and the Shadow Ring's classic / skewered Lighthouse/"Lindus lp's".
The performance at Oto will be their global debut and comes hot on the heels of their debut full length LP release on KYE following on from their highly acclaimed s/t 7"
For the evening, Lambkin is accompanied by Helm aka Luke Younger, who explores field recordings, tape loops, percussion, and electronics. Helm alludes to narrative via abstract compositions which create a tense, daunting environment.

With Helm, elements of musique concrete, noise, drones and tones all play a role in a world where the sound of the human voice morphs into spectral rust, a shimmering klang swims alongside passive noise and the relationship between acoustic and electronic derived sounds forms a solid foundation.
Younger has previously toured extensively through Europe and the US as a member of Birds of Delay with artists such as Emeralds, Pain Jerk, Son of Earth, and has shared bills with the likes of Wolf Eyes, Sonic Youth, The Ex, The Skaters, Sightings, Aaron Dilloway.
