Title

Nouveaux Bovinages Sonores (Dans La Période)

Description

The legendary French trio of Jean-Luc André, Jean-Philippe Fée and Sylvie Martineau made their debut in the late 1970s and quickly established a dominant position on the then vibrant international cassette scene. Their label Illusion Productions and their studio Souterrain Scientifique became the marks of defiant creativity. DDAA – Déficit des Années Antérieures – specialized in neo-modernist collages, drowned in obsessive, organically mixed rhythmic patterns of both human and looped origin. It is in the instantly recognizable character of these loops – soluble, ductile and reversible – that DDAA made a lasting contribution to 20th century avant-garde rock.

At the beginning of their career, DDAA exhibited fascination with early-stage mechanization and with 20th century Japonisme. Both motifs interacted gracefully in short, ironic songs and in more extended compositions. Although the band was on the cutting edge of post-punk avant-garde and frequently appeared on compilations next to such luminaries as Nurse with Wound, Merzbow, Organum, Smegma or P16D4, the trio’s style was always more melodic and eschewed caustic aggression of post-industrial mannerism.

DDAA remains virtually unknown outside France and little known inside the ‘Hexagone’. Nevertheless, its historic importance can hardly be overestimated. The band’s copious heritage deserves a book rather than a mere article. This is just a timid beginning.
