In making Breizhiselad I have tried to rewrite some
masterpieces of the traditional music of French Brittany.
Apart a few field recordings all the material on this
record originates in extracts from two songs of the A side
of a 10" 1960s reissue of a 78rpm.
The story begins when a Breton cousin discovered the record
at his grandmother's house. On first listening, I found it
to be horrible - but a work of genius. Horrible because of
the catechism-like vocal arrangements but a work of genius
in terms of the beauty of the melody and the conviction of
the singers.
Another particularity is the importance of the disc itself,
whose vinyl surface is nearly erased, polished under a sea
of cracks. My project has been to transpose this
traditional music into the tape music medium with a view to
preserving what is strong in the source material and
erasing the sugary, churchy treatment of these originally
popular songs.
