An Evening With Charlie is not the regular type of beats and
samples an mc would like to rhyme on...it is more a
collection of crafty little pieces, groovy as possible,
filled with strange samples, full of soul, funk, acoustic
sounds, a cosy little universe ready to makes you sweat and
feel good! Tal wanted to start a career of classical composer,
carefully following studies at the music conservator...a place
he was expelled from at the age of eight! He went back to his
portable record player to listen to some old school hip hop
with his brother. After a casio "karaoke"-like experiment
(using the slow-rock or rhumba presets), he became a teenage
funky freak as bass player. Armed with his bass, he went to
New York where he spent some times jammings with jazz
musicians...and discovered a world of diversity,
of fusion: experimental music, hiphop, jazz, soul. Under the
spell of this blessed moment, he stayed for a while in Paris
and spent time at the fine arts school's electronic
departement. As a never satisfied traveller and music freak,
Tal is now based in London, trying to find out the secrets
of electro-acoustic music. This unstoppable appetite for
travelling, musical encounters of every types, this constant
auto-abduction out of this world is maybe part of the secret
spices behind this evening with Charlie. This is an
alternative for a head that has been done in by too much
techno. The Paris-bred Tal who has not yet finished studying
for Sonic Arts degree in London presents here a collection
of laid-back tracks. Each track has been put together
after hours of painstaking sampling and an obviously vast
net has been cast to search for the sounds. More immediate
roots are jazz and funk, but there is an unique ear here
for juxtaposition and Tal has used everything from
John Travolta to the grim noise of a needle scratched
accross vinyl. On tracks like 'Erotica Pinball', with
its conclusion of porn and pinball machine samples, the
music never falls into the trap of being gimmickly. This
music really isn't just another lot of samples thrown
together over a trip-hop beat, as there has been much
work combining sounds quite complex. --quatermass.net
