about

In the 1970s, Robert Cahen turned to the burgeoning field of video art, where he became a pioneering artist. He was originally trained in musique concrète, his creative background, and joined the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in 1972. The pieces on this record were composed in the GRM studios between 1971 and 1974. They testify to a lively inspiration and imagination combined with a precocious formal mastery that already carries the seeds of later developments, which the artist cleverly and inventively deployed in the field of visual arts.

Robert Cahen s’est orienté dans les années 1970 vers l’art vidéo naissant, où il occupe maintenant une place d’artiste pionnier. Sa formation, son berceau créatif sont à chercher dans la musique concrète et au Groupe de Recherches Musicales qu’il intègre en 1972, après s’y être formé. Composées dans les studios du GRM entre 1971 et 1974, les pièces de ce disque témoignent de manière plurielle d’une inspiration et d’une imagination vivaces associées à une maitrise formelle précoce, qui porte déjà en elle les germes de développements futurs, que l’artiste déploiera avec intelligence et inventivité dans le champ des arts visuels.
