Alternative Oblique by Jean-Marc Foussat

On offer here are the solo tracks featured within the mammoth "Alternative Oblique - Jean-Marc Foussat et les autres" 4 CD anthology, released in 2015 on Improvising Beings on the occasion of Jean-Marc's 60th birthday.

Those 5 tracks are welcome additions to Jean-Marc's solo canon, especially "Carte Postale pour P.P." and "Loopé" from 1975, respectively his first electro-acoustic and VCS3 compositions able to be released.

More contemporary live or studio improvisations round up the set, in the vein of "L'Oiseau" and "Hors Contrôle".

[Available for purchase is of course the full CD anthology. It features assorted proto-Canterbury juvenilia, the unreleased 2000 "come-back" album "Trash The Flash" (danceable versions of "Abattage" ?!?!), and a wide array of collaborations with free improvisers such as Joe McPhee, Paul Lovens, Raymond Boni, Jean-Luc Cappozzo, Makoto Sato, and the younger generation of Dirar Kalash, Marialuisa Capurso, Nicolas Souchal, Fred Marty, Irene Kepl...]
