Do you
ever questioned yourself what would happen if someone mixed ingredients that
you thought were impossible to mix, like fish and meat in the same plate for
example? If you think about it, fish and meat are both great foods but it´s not
common to use both in a dish. You certainly wouldn´t eat cooked whitefish in a
burger, at least if you are a normal person I think.
And
there´s a “but” coming… A master or visionary can easily create with different
ingredients, sometimes completely opposed, a truly inspiring creation or at
least an enjoyable creation out of the ordinary that really impresses by its
innovation. The Parisian band DACAST is this visionary and innovator force,
with a chaotic art of lose notes, anti-melodic scales, confusing sequence of heavy
chords and abnormal progression that turns this band into a complex
impressionistic energy.
The
Dacast entity was formed in 2002 and was created with influences of the
impressionism of the XIX century but was also immersed in a timeless space
where it remained absorbing the evolution of time acquiring its own modern
style. The Impressionism was a movement that began in France and was related
with the painting but quickly affected the music scene of that time. With the
Impressionism music grew and became more extensive and comprehensive with the
use of different scales and forms it was characterized by dissonance,
suggestion and atmosphere being less obvious and emotional.
Dacast
is not easy to digest, they are a progressive metal jazz band with a very raw
and old school core sound, they are very metallic and very noisy with an ugly
distortion contemplating complicated compositions forming a chaotic musical
ambiance. When I hear “Dédale” the latest infernal creation of Dacast I am led
into a mysterious approach to music and I give my first steps in an unexpected
category of sound without form but with a huge presence that gets me hooked and
gives me chills. The non natural progression of the music played by this
brilliant musicians and technique brings out the best of the jazz but is also
impressive for the heaviness element of metal working in perfect disharmony in
this unique art. They
transpire artists such as King Crimson, Mile Davis, Dillinger Escape Plan and
Mike Patton but created their own sound only sharing the technique, passion and
impressionist style of these artists.
“Dédale”
was released February 4th at Gheea Music and it´s 35 minutes of a
colliding style of cultures, music, history and improvisation. Actually this
two sides album was recorded live so it has this huge and raw sound with
improvisations sections inherent to jazz that turns this work even more
unexpected and real. If you are this guy who don’t want to experience a new
hard and complex sound or if you simply don´t appreciate jazz this album
definitively is not for you, but I recommend it anyway, this magnificent work
is all about passion and soul and I think it is possible to reach everyone
cause even the simplest mind can internalize this beautiful complicated music.
