Bleep

The artist Robert Cahen first came to prominence in the 1970s with his work in the then newly-minted field of video art. Cahen however was formally trained in the practices of musique concrète, and it’s with these complementary tools that he connected with the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in 1972. This new compilation from the GRM’s Recollection label entitled La nef des fous surveys some of Cahen’s earliest work in the GRM studio, a mesmerising collection of sounds from an artist breaking new ground across multiple disciplines.
