Wildly uncatagorisable French avant-muckflinging on the great GRRR label from the late Trumpeter Bernard Vitet and multi-insturmentalist, instrument builder and performer Hélène Sage.
Surreal to the point of being genuinely unsettling, the duo roughly assemble awkward / angular instrumental injections, ambiguous field recordings, rehearsal excerpts and seemingly any bizarre sound they’re able to find / make into an outlandish montage that continues to mutate throughout.Vitet’s flawless credentials as an avant-jazz contributor (check La Guêpe LP, Jean Guérin’s Tacet or any of the Tusques stuff), appear here to have been cast aside for something altogether more feral.But for all it’s untamed mischief, occasionally the clouds clear and you can find yourself adrift in a sea of total confusion.Anyone who isn’t totally nauseated by Nurse With Wound’s dadaist antics, the murky world of H.N.A.S or that Amnon Raviv LP should definitely check.Anyone who thinks it jazz probably shouldn’t. Definitely leaves a pong in it's wake, you've been warned.(NM/NM - unplayed deadstock).
