Holidays Records / Italy / RE 2016 / 10", Limited edition
This limited 10" reissue captures Ghédalia Tazartès’ wild, noisy tribute to French poets Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine. Originally released in a small run, 5 Rimbaud 1 Verlaine showcases Tazartès’ signature blend of raw improvisation, concrète sound collage, guttural vocalizations, loops, and sudden stylistic shifts.
Known for his outsider approach to music, Tazartès pushes poetic recitation into surreal and abrasive territory, blending incompatible genres with bold abandon. A memorable and genre-defying homage, this reissue restores a fierce and unique entry in the late artist’s singular catalog.
