Avant Toute captures a remarkable collaboration between pioneering French synthesist Jean-Jacques Birgé and virtuoso guitarist Francis Gorgé, recorded in 1975 at Studio GRRR in France. Merging throbbing electronic textures with adventurous jazz improvisation, the duo crafts a sound that bridges experimental pop and cosmic exploration, placing them at the vanguard of the French avant-garde movement.
This release brings to light previously unreleased sessions that laid the foundation for Birgé, Gorgé, and Shiroc’s cult Défense de album, charting a bold new course just before the founding of Un Drame Musical Instantané. Fans of electronic innovation and boundary-pushing jazz will appreciate the album’s inspired interplay, masterfully restored and offered here in a special edition from SouffleContinu Records.
