Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"A consultation of the metal handler nominates the beginning of the alphabetical order. No, I didn't start singing the syllable with great vocal clamor. Ascend the point and the guard to the next level. Il filo sottile cinge la mente prodiga di lucentezza che ben riflette se stessa. Loro si muovono e seguono indefessi i suoi alacri compiti. The movement generates space, adjusted with a small spiral on a mobile skate. And here it is."-Fou


Artist Biographies

Since the mid-1970s, Foussat had belonged to groups such as Lézard Marçio, in which he contributed the sounds of concrete music with magnetic tapes. In 1981, he finished his first solo album, Abattage, which was released in 1983. In the ensemble Marteau Rouge (with the guitarist Jean-François Pauvros and the drummer Makoto Sato), he also collaborated with Evan Parker.
