PAN Presents: GHÉDALIA TAZARTÈS//CHRIS CORSANO & DENNIS TYFUS//DRACULA LEWIS


French cult artist Ghédalia Tazartès is an uncompromising character who defies categorization. He recorded alone a dozen of albums, calling his way of working “Impromuz” for lack of a better term. His public appearances remain exceptional events. Ghédalia Tazartès’ music has always been a mystery. It switches from musique concrète to – existing or invented – ethnic music, from poetry to noise, or from loops and collages to sad and extremely beautiful tunes in a second, but it constantly is in flux and coherent.

For this event he will do an exclusive performance of the “HAXAN” SOUNDTRACK (cinemix). Häxan is a documentary about the history of witchcraft, told in a variety of styles, from illustrated slideshow to dramatized events of alleged real-life events, right up to the early twentieth century (when the film was made, in 1922). Benjamin Christensen’s legendary film uses a series of dramatic vignettes to explore the scientific hypothesis that the witches of the Middle Ages suffered the same hysteria as turn-of-the-century psychiatric patients.

Tazartes’ shamanic voice and talent for incantation make for a unique and frightening experience.

Chris Corsano & Dennis Tyfus
First spellbound by free improvised music in the mid ’90s after witnessing performances by TEST, William Parker, Cecil Taylor and others, Corsano began a long-standing high-energy partnership with Paul Flaherty in 1998. A move from western Massachusetts, USA to the UK in 2005 led Corsano to develop an expanded solo percussion music of his own, incorporating sax reeds, violin strings and bows, pot lids, adhesive tape and other household devices into his drum kit. Moving back to the U.S. in 2009, he’s returned to his own projects, most notably a duo with Michael Flower, Rangda (with Sir Richard Bishop and Ben Chasny) and his solo work, now revamped to include synthesizers and contact mics in addition to his drum kit and home-made acoustic instruments. He’s also worked with, among others: Evan Parker & John Edwards, Jim O’Rourke, Paul Dunmall, Nels Cline, Jessica Rylan, Jandek, Sunburned Hand Of Man, MV&EE, Vampire Belt, Joe McPhee and Thurston Moore & Wally Shoup.
At this event, Corsano pairs with another many-tendrilled talent in the form of Belgian maverick Dennis Tyfus. The visual artist, free noise purveyor and Ultra Eczema label boss Tyfus has his own unique approach to, well, everything.
