RETROCONTROLE - 2 Cassettes


RETROCONTROLE was a French project involved in some sort of theatrical perfomances. The tape Alcaloides is a conceptual tape-work inspired by different alkaloids, tryptamines, psylocibin, methadone, etc. Recorded on 8/9/92 as a private concert; it evolves into a mix of concrete music and experimental electronics with alternating noises.

Track listing:

a01-adrenaline
a02-t.h.c
a03-hypotension
a04-psylocybine
a05-methadone
a06-methadone 2
a07-methadone 3
a08-neurotoxique
a09-tryptamine
a10-tryptamine2
b01-cachexie terminale
b02-alteration



The other tape: le manifest de l`art discret is a concert based upon the theatrical play: "le paradoxe entre absurd et realite". It is a c90 recorded live in 1992. It features concrete music with piano, electronic equipment, saxophone, clarinet and guitar.

Track listing:

a01-Le Traumatisme De La Naissance
b01-Les Perspectives Mortes
b02-Le Jeu De la feuillee
b03-Le Grand Discret
b04-Une Minute pour Souffler

Both tapes are numbered with a stamp, and released as a production of 50 copies only. They come with colour cover sleeves with additional photocopied inserts with info and contacts(included here as pictures). Check them out!! Sorry for not much info delivered about this project, but if you know more we`d love to know.
