S.A.D.O. (Società Anonima Decostruzionismi Organici) – La Differanza

S.A.D.O.

GENRE: Jazz, Free Jazz, Improvisation, Experimental

Label: Clinical Archives
Release date: 2010
Total running time: 0:46:20
“La Differanza” was released in 2000 as the second SADO’s record.
This is the 10th anniversary edition, specially remixed for free download.
An early work of SADO but still very representative of the band. Based on Jacques Derrida’s “Difference” notion. Jacques Derrida begins the essay “Différance” (perhaps the most systematic articulation of the non-concept that, according to Derrida, he “has been able to utilize” in previous works) by talking about the letter a and trying to explain (though not justify; instead perform an “insistent intensification of its play”) the neologism that he developed. In the first few paragraphs of the essay, he talks about writing and how the neologism (“neographism” he calls it) is “a lapse in the discipline and law” of that system, a sort of distruption in writing and, if I may add, in language and the order of signs in general.
Sado’s “LA DIFFERANZA” follows this scheme, nothing more, nothing less.

BBLUNK – ‘O’bcal

BBLUNK

GENRE: Jazz, Free Jazz, Improvisation

Label: Insubordinations
Release date: 2009
Total running time: 0:51:15
‘O’bcal, bBlunk’s first album available online, offers a selection of recordings made at the “Bocal” in 2009. Around that central duet, the various groupings within the XoNdZf share a common taste for free improvisation, experimental research, and creation, always exploring their own path.
Sylvain Guérineau brings his lyrical passion to thebBrrAx trio, whose sincerity and generosity combine in an energetic formula tending towards free music.
The music of the eRraTz trio is impossible to classify but its formula is nonetheless rather classical, with the surprising and subtle Jean Bordé on double bass.
In the zVeep trio, with Vee Reduron playing guitar, the natural sonorities of the drums, the electric sonorities of the guitar and the electronic sonorities of the keyboards complete each other and melt into a powerful playful maelstrom.
bBlunk irrigates all those proposals and is in turn inspired by their feedback.

DIATRIBES+JACQUES DEMIERRE+JOHANN BOURQUENEZ – Piano(s)

Diatribes

GENRE: Jazz, Free Jazz, Improvisation
Label: Insubordinations
Release date: 2009
Total running time: 0:31:46
Diatribes, a strongly libertarian ensemble, began its existence in a Geneva basement in Winter 2004. Their idea was to mix distinct various types and approach of the sounds, in order to develop a malleable musical mass. The instruments merge into the electronics treatments in a primary dance, where construction and deconstruction coexist, and envy and disgust unite. There are no limits in teh way of playing, where rhythms, melodies and noise meet sporadically, merging into each other until they are almost forgotten. Free jazz in its approach, acoustic and electronic in its execution, the trio is capable of exploring the minute like the intense.
Initialy a trio with Gaël Riondel on saxophone, diatribes became a polymorphous fromation, extending its spectrum with guest musicians such as the guitarist Christian Graf, the electroacoustician Nicolas Sordet, the pianists Jacques Demierre and Johann Bourquenez, the bassist Dragos Tara or the saxophonist Piero SK.
