Magma : Décryptage d'un mythe et d'une musique

For the past forty years, Magma has been traversing the French musical landscape outside the mainstream. Baptized zeuhl, this cross between choral singing, avant-garde, rock and jazz, innovates through lyrics sung in an imaginary language with Germanic and Slavic overtones, kobaïen. Marked by the charismatic personality of its composer, drummer and singer, Christian Vander, Magma has built around its music an entire universe centered on a spiritual quest through the myths and legends of Kobaïa, the dream planet. In this book, Philippe Gonin invites us to decipher these myths and analyze the workings of Magma's various formations. Above all, he focuses on the music, explaining, album by album, track by track, how a work is constructed and evolves.
