A marvelous treasure that was posted on 9 nov. 2009 on the great blog 'No Longer Forgotten Music'. 
Unavailable on that location for some time because of the sudden deaths of file storage services,
the files are now available again, with the kind help of the 'No Longer Forgotten Music' blog owner - many thanks for that!




Hessel Veldman, one of the initiators of  'Exart Tapes', who approved of this post,
told Secret Chants today:

"This release has been compiled and mixed by me, but the composers, 
performers and recordings will remain 'unknown'.
The recordings were made in a large underground concrete room 
in a bunker in the dunes of IJmuiden (The Netherlands)."


Thanks Hessel!

Exart existed from 1982 untill 1995 - and released works by Gorgonzola Legs, Y Create and others.

'I am not yet this power, this structure, this ruin'




Les Horribles Travailleurs 

'I am not yet this power, this structure, this ruin'
This 3:36 soundwork is a montage of two segments from soundrecordings
stored on tapes nr. 35 (1985) and nr. 62 (1986) by 'O/R/G/V/M/C-Z Recordings'
(a project continued under the name Les Horribles Travailleurs).


The title: "I am not yet this power, this structure, this ruin"
is a quote from Clarice Lispector, from her 'The Complete Stories: The Dinner'
