ETANT DONNES - Cinq Portes Soudées

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Klanggalerie gg472 Release Year: 2024 Note: "Cinq Portes Soudees" was the fifth "album" (= double cassette) from the French brothers, released in 1984 on Bain Total (K 21), and is now a rare collector's item: *...it is the volume of each word that becomes an object-sculpture, together with the power of their bodies expressing their voices. Each event is a scream - indeed even the glissando - of the strength of the word that sometimes abruptly becomes a rock, a solid surface* - very "primitive", bruitistic, with long bonus unreleased bonus track !! Price (incl. 19% VAT): €15.00 More Info https://www.klanggalerie.com/gg472 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxfX574peL8 Etant Donnes is a French duo named after Marcel Duchamp's last major work. The group consists of brothers Marc and Eric Hurtado, born in Morocco and working mainly as performance artists and musicians. Their sound can be described as a mix of field recordings, found sounds and sometimes whispered, sometimes violent vocals. They describe their sounds like this: "Through Marc and Eric, it is the volume of each word that becomes an object-sculpture, together with the power of their bodies expressing their voices. Each event is a scream - indeed even the glissando - of the strength of the word that sometimes abruptly becomes a rock, a solid surface, not in the least fluvial, as is the narrative of a tale, novel or poetic epic. With both of them, there is no more trace of ancient prosodies, no more trace of the incomprehensible Sainte-Beuve who could claim: "I have to collect a volume of prose". The word, the voice, the volume take shape with each other, unveiling a theatre that theatre usually ignores, which has given it such things as a Samuel Beckett's Fin de Partie." Over the years Etant Donnes have collaborated with people like Lydia Lunch, Michael Gira, Alan Vega and Genesis P-Orridge. Cinq Portes Soudées was the band's fifth album, originally released on Die Form's Bain Total label in 1984 on cassette only. For this CD re-issue we have added a long bonus track not on the original album. Full tracklist: 1. Cinq Portes Soudées Part 1 2. Cinq Portes Soudées Part 2 3. Music from the film Des autres terres souples Part 4 Das fünfte Studioalbum (1984) des französischen Experimental- / Performance-Duos Etant Donnes "Cinq Portes Soudées" erscheint erstmalig als CD im Digipack-Format und mit Bonustrack auf Klanggalerie. 1980 in Grenoble von den beiden Brüdern Eric und Marc Hurtado ins Leben gerufen, legte das nach einem Werk des französisch-amerikanischen Dadaisten und Surrealisten Marcel Duchamp benannte Experimental- / Performance-Duo, das seitdem mit Genregrößen wie Genesis P-Orridge, Alan Vega, Michael Gira, Mark Cunningham und Lydia Lunch zusammenarbeitete, schon ein Jahr später sein Albumdebüt "L‘Opposition Et Les Cases Conjugues Sont Rconcil" vor. "Cinq Portes Soudées", ein zeitlos spannender Mix aus Industrial / Noise, Avantgarde- Klängen und Musique Concrete, war das fünfte Album der Band aus dem Jahr 1984, das ursprünglich auf dem französischen Label Bain Total (unter Leitung von Philippe Fichot von Die Form) nur als Kassette veröffentlicht wurde. Für diese CD-Erstauflage wurde ein langer Bonustrack hinzugefügt, der nicht auf dem Originalalbum enthalten ist ("Music From The Film Des Autres Terres Souples Part 4").
