ARZA ANA1AK - TXALAPARTA '75 IR41LA (1975)

The dreamlife of the collector: the addictive, unquenchable desire for the complete, a total archive, a museum of the rare. Our quest for DIVerso albums supplies the requisite fix--the sixth in the series. Follow links here to scroll back through the entries.

This is the album that kicked it all off. A Basque duo conducting serialist, ethno-folk inspired percussion experiments on the txalaparta that are at once simple, wonky, maddening, meditative and beautiful. Stark yet warm, patently "acoustic".... This is eminently dreamy trance music made from regular and irregular tapping systems, and almost non-existent melodic/tonal variation.
