About Me

(About the uploaded songs you can read something clicking on "Lyrics" in the player.)Tasaday, the experimental/noise/tribal/postrock/industrial music band, located in Brianza, Italy.A major discovery? An elaborate hoax? Is the hoax claim the real hoax?The Tasaday did not make worldwide headlines in 1981 when the not tiny group emerged from some humid villages in hills of Brianza, carrying metal, electric and electronic musical instruments, such as tubes, coils, amputed bass and chopper vox, and professing no knowledge. The people were talking about the sensation of Him who belongs to the dark and awakes at the day light, perceiving that nothing changes. In 1984, someone entered into the radio station where the Tasaday were playing their music, reading hermetic texts and playing their own parts, and wrote on the wall the sentence "Tasaday fucking poseur", claiming that the Tasaday story was a fraud. The wall writer claimed that the people had been persuaded to act as "the inexpressible thing" as an elaborate hoax. One journalist did not support those accusations and later, after a Tasaday live performance, on a major circulation magazine, he described the Tasaday as "the italian new Sex Pistols of the '80", saying that the Tasaday are authentic and the claim of a hoax was the real hoax. Nowadays the question is still unanswered. (To read the serious story go to http://www.tasaday.it/Storia.htm)

Sounds Like: "One is even reminded of the collaboration between Ornette Coleman and Yoko Ono on the magnificent Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band, certainly because of the creepy general undertone but probably because of the sound, too." All Music Guide"Descrivere la musica dei Tasaday è un'impresa ardua e difficile. La prima definizione che viene in mente è quella di musica da film, un'immaginaria colonna sonora che, in realtà, ha lo scopo di cogliere l'essenza primordiale della musica e del ritmo, cioè alterare lo stato psichico dell'ascoltatore." Newusic.it"...dopo 45 minuti di ascolto si esce rimescolati e confusi, passati nel labirinto in cui Tasaday ci ha lanciato: chiusi nelle proprie paure, attese che non si sciolgono e stati che si confondono in attesa dell'incontro con il Minotauro. In una parola: enigmatico." postit-rock.com
