Comprising some of the earliest, uninhibited performances from musicians behind groundbreaking European records and films, \u003ci\u003eFree Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e captures the birth of an exciting movement that would soon earn its Parisian birthplace as the go-to European spiritual home of improvised and avant-garde music. Spearheaded by pianist and composer Francois Tusques, this 1965 French album laid the foundations - alongside Jef Gilson's 1963 album \u003ci\u003eEnfin!\u003c\/i\u003e (OI 020LP) - for a unique satellite brand of jazz that would later provide visiting Afro American avant-garde players with a vibrant Parisian platform. With \u003ci\u003eFree Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e, you not only hear the unique differences within the Gallic approach to the art form (combining masterful somber cinematic changes with aerated free-form percussion and erratic reed and brass), but you also witness the early, lesser savored secret ingredients that would carry France's mainstream pop culture into truly uncharted and unrivalled territories. Best known as the soundtrack composer to the horror-tica films of Jean Rollin, Tusques is joined here by sax and flute player Francois Jeanneau, who later led Triangle, France's leading French language prog-jazz-rock act. Featuring three players from \u003ci\u003eEnfin!, Free Jazz\u003c\/i\u003e combines the skills of Jeanneau, with clarinet player Michel Portal, and trumpeter Bernard Vitet.

Once destined for a shelf life within the storage rooms of defunct TV studios and educational facilities Daniela's previously strictly commercially unavailable music has in recent years been given new focus at the hands of open-minded disc detectives and sonic salvage hunters earning Casa's distinctive feminine take on experimental instrumental mood and movie compositions a place next to her widely respected masculine counterparts such as Alessandro Alessandroni, AR Luciani, Pierro Umiliani, Morricone and Nicolai. Sharing tight studio space and strict syndication schedules with all of the aforementioned artists (under commission from Romano Di Bari's fervently independent Flipper music factory) Daniela Casa embraced a liberating wind change in affordable music technology which opened doors for uninhabited solo compositions in home studios taking advantage of communal recording consoles and domestic synthesisers which nurtured a lesser-documented creative family tree (or rather secret society) and paved the way for individualistic projects from the likes of Magnetic System's Fabio Frizzi and Goblin's Claudio Simonetti.Here, on this repress of the impossibly rare, one-time subscription-only album, Arte Moderna, we find Daniela at her versatile best creating a wide thematic suite (based on paintings and sculptures in an abstract art gallery) for which she would deploy mostly organic and acoustic instruments to construct a set of unorthodox compositions straddling avant garde, free jazz and Giallo tension (with some brief moments of brooding electronics and italian pop). Veering from her stylistic pop interests (which clearly included a fondness for the music of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin) Daniela Casa's Arte Moderna saw her adopt a less era specific approach combining neo-classical elements and piano improvisations akin to the likes of France's Francois Tusques or Burton Greene, or America's Mal Waldron without compromising her strong narrative personality for this unique abstracted picture music.Unintentionally but profoundly political in her prolific existence Daniela Casa's contribution to a predominantly male industry earned her a small clutch of inspired idiosyncratic Italian female bedfellows such as Nora Orlandi, Giullia De Muittis (aka Kema), Fiorella Fratini, Emma De Angelis and Maria Teresa Luciani, who, with faceless anti-celebrity as its essence, never benefitted the wider critical focus that much of this music now duly commands on the collectors circuit. Finders Keepers Records in continued collaboration with the Di Barri company, with the Casa \/ Ducros family blessing, are now proud to shine new light on this sonic sculptures and provide a fresh context where educated music listeners are ready to fill the gaps between Delia Derbyshire, Ennio Morricone, Suzanne Ciani and Harry Partch and patronise a very welcome considered alternative to the recent rise in popularity of Italian Giallo soundtracks from a seldom savoured feminine creative vantage point. Daniela's musical paintings can now be unveiled to the public for the first time, with Modern Art sounding as contemporary as it did when it was recorded forty years ago.

The third full length release on Finders Keepers' new experimental imprint, Cacophonic. CD features a bonus cut. Karel Goeyvaerts was born in Antwerp in 1923. After having received a humanistic education in Antwerp, he took courses at the Lemmens Institute in Malines. From 1943 until 1947 he studied at the Royal Flemish Conservatoire of Antwerp. From 1947 until 1950 he studied composition with Darius Milhaud, music analysis with Olivier Messiaen, and was, in addition, the pupil of Maurice Martenot at the Conservatoire National in Paris. In 1949 he was awarded the 2nd Prize for Composition and the Lili Boulanger Prize at the same Conservatoire. He obtained the Halphen Prize in 1950. During the winter of 1950-51 he wrote the 'Sonata For Two Pianos'. Because of its decisive and total stylistic novelty he designated this work as 'Composition No 1', thus rejecting all his former work. With this sonata he created a structural synthesis of the dodecaphonic system of Anton Webern and the teachings of Olivier Messiaen, and laid the foundations for generalized 'punctual' serialism. He demonstrated the application of this technique on the electronic medium in his compositions Nrs. 4, 5 and 7. During the period 1951-1956, he influenced directly - through personal contact and intensive correspondence - the musical creativity of Karlheinz Stockhausen, whom he met during the summer-courses of 1951 in Darmstadt. In 1953, Goeyvaerts and Stockhausen produced the first electronic music in the studio of the NWDR in Cologne. In 1970 the BRT appointed him as producer at the Institute Of Psychoacoustics And Electronic Music (IPEM) in Ghent. Since 1974 he is in charge of the New Music productions for BRT-3 in Brussels. Karel Goeyvaerts received several awards, such as the Koopal Prize in 1967 and the Visser- Neerlandia Prize in 1969. He also was given commissions by the BRT, the Festival of Flanders and the NOS (Nederlandse Omroepstichting). His works have been performed in several European countries, in Canada, the United States, Japan and at the festivals of the International Society For Contemporary Music (ISCM) Brussels 1950, Oslo 1953, Graz 1972 and Bonn 1977.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cacophonic","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50491328069963,"sku":"363667","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/d80c263e-1d9c-4f76-9e22-935aec0354e7_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727685522"},{"product_id":"musique-tachiste","title":"Musique Tachiste","description":"\u003cp\u003eDebut release on new Cacophonic experimental imprint via Finders Keepers.

One of the earliest examples of any kind of recorded fusion between rhythm heavy pop music and traditional Turkish music, Ganimian's developments in New York City - with his sadly unrecorded turk jerk combo The Nor-Ikes (New Dawn) combo - ran almost simultaneously alongside the rising Anadolou Pop scene in Turkey, resulting in his short lived powerhouse of Kif proto-rock under the changing names of Ganim's Asia Minors, Ganimian and His Orientals and Ganimian and His Oriental Music Orchestra. Combining a line-up of mostly unknown musicians from his local community (where he was worked as a butcher), Ganimian, in a short unison with ATCO records, was fortunate enough to accommodate jazz guitarist Al Schactman as part of his studio personnel (launching the career of this Nina Simone regular) as well as French born Armenian folk singer Onnik Dinkjian and reid player Steve Bogoshian (both from the band The House Of The Seven Uncles) as well as the esteemed Turkish raised Kanun player Ahmet Yatman.

Pressed in miniscule numbers, original copies of this sought-after piece of Belgian jazz history regularly exceed £300.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cacophonic","offers":[{"title":"Black | 7\"","offer_id":50498386886987,"sku":"1067497","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/820f313a-943c-4abd-861d-000b31b3ffa1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727746608"},{"product_id":"alors-nosferatu-combina-un-plan-ingenieux","title":"Alors Nosferatu Combina Un Plan Ingnieux","description":"\u003cp\u003ePreviously unreleased and thought lost Cacophonic present these rare recordings for first time ever!

Cementing the path between the Absurd label’s kitchen sink synth assaults and Factory’s 99 informed downtown aspirations, Biting Tongues’ bass-driven, pounding-sounding, schizo-skronking, squat-pop put the emergence of punk-funk under a blinding interrogation bulb then hid round the corner evading secret police. Pouring three letter words like ESG, DAF, PIL and ACR into Ken Hollings Scrabble bag would result in a unique form of wordy dictaphone agit-rap and closed-circuit commentary to Graham Massey’s overqualified punk ensemble, laying foundations of future Manc activity using uncertified sand and gravel tactics, only to be safety checked every 38 years, or thereabout. \u003ci\u003eLive It\u003c\/i\u003e, the lost Biting Tongues album, still breathes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cacophonic","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50498572714315,"sku":"1079533","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/b8f6d0e1-f33a-4d74-ae8f-ebb3e8b190d5_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727749951"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/collections\/test_74feba05_thumbnail_4096_0578bf69-d41a-4bcd-ad49-b3277ea992de.jpg?v=1726477885","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/collections\/cacophonic.oembed","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
