'''Magma''' is a French [[progressive rock]] band founded in Paris in 1969 by self-taught drummer [[Christian Vander (musician)|Christian Vander]], who claimed as his inspiration a "vision of humanity's spiritual and ecological future" that profoundly disturbed him. In the course of their first album, the band tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the planet Kobaïa. Later, conflict arises when the Kobaïans—descendants of the original colonists—encounter other Earth refugees. The style of progressive rock that Vander developed with Magma is termed "[[Zeuhl]]", and has been applied to other bands in France operating in the same period, and to some recent Japanese bands.<ref name=Zeuhl/>
 
Vander created a [[fictional language]], [[Kobaïan]], in which most lyrics are sung.<ref name=Wire-p2>{{Cite magazine|url=http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/2324/?pageno=2 |title=Different Drummer: Magma – interview with Christian Vander, page 2 |magazine=[[The Wire (magazine)|The Wire]] |first=Paul |last=Stump |date=July 1995 |access-date=16 October 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604202006/http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/2324/?pageno=2 |archive-date= 4 June 2011}}</ref> In a 1977 interview with Vander and long-time Magma vocalist Klaus Blasquiz, Blasquiz said that Kobaïan is a "phonetic language made by elements of the Slavonic and Germanic languages to be able to express some things musically. The language has of course a content, but not word by word."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.danbbs.dk/~m-bohn/magma/interview.htm |title=Da Zeuhl Wortz Mekanïk is kobaïan for Magma |publisher=Danbbs.dk |date=1996-08-20 |access-date=2011-10-30}}</ref> Vander himself has said, "When I wrote, the sounds [of Kobaïan] came naturally with it—I didn't intellectualise the process by saying 'Ok, now I'm going to write some words in a particular language', it was really sounds that were coming at the same time as the music."<ref>{{cite web|title=Magma, c'est moi|url=http://rockfort.info/content.aspx?cid=160 |author=Interview by David McKenna and Ludovic Merle, translated by David McKenna |date= 2009-11-12 |publisher=Rockfort.info}}</ref> In the course of their first album, the band tells the story of a group of people fleeing a doomed Earth to settle on the planet Kobaïa. Subsequently, conflict arises when the Kobaïans - descendants of the original colonists - encounter other Earth refugees. Later albums tell different stories set in more ancient times; however, the Kobaïan language remains an integral part of the music.
 
In 1986, the French label Seventh Records was founded to (re-)publish Magma's and Vander's work. Over the years, Seventh has also released albums by related artists such as [[Stella Vander]], [[Patrick Gauthier]], and Collectif Mu.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seventhrecords.com/ORG/bioseventh.html |title=Seventh Records |publisher=Seventh Records |access-date=2011-10-30}}</ref>
Line 39:
After their first tour, Magma experienced significant lineup turnover. Vocalist Lucien Zabuski was replaced with Klaus Blasquiz, and pianist Eddie Rabin, double bassist Jacky Vidal, and guitarist Claude Engel also joined the group. The group worked on material for three months in a house in the [[Vallée de Chevreuse|Chevreuse Valley]]. Eddie Rabin was replaced by François Cahen on keyboards, and Laurent Thibault abandoned bass to devote himself to production. [[Francis Moze]] became the new bassist. The band also expanded with a brass section, consisting of Teddy Lasry on saxophone and clarinet, Richard Raux on saxophone and flute, and Paco Charlery on trumpet. The group's first album, ''[[Magma (Magma album)|Magma]]'', was released in the spring of 1970 by [[Philips Records]]. The group caused a sensation but audience reactions were mixed.<ref name=":0" />
 
After the album was released, Claude Engel, Richard Raux, and Paco Charlery left the group. Jeff Seffer replaced Raux on saxophone, and Louis Toesca replaced Charlery on trumpet. Their second album, ''[[1001° Centigrades]],'', was released in April 1971. The album won the band more exposure, including a performance at the [[Montreux Jazz Festival]].<ref name=":0" />

French drummer and composer [[Christian Vander (musician)|Christian Vander]] formed Magma in late 1969 in an attempt to fill the void left by the death of American jazz musician and composer [[John Coltrane]].<ref name=Wire-p2/> Magma's first album, ''[[Magma (Magma album)|Magma]]'' (later reissued as ''Kobaïa''), told a story of refugees fleeing a future Earth and settling on a [[Planets in science fiction|fictional planet]] called Kobaïa.<ref name=PSF>{{Cite magazine|url=http://www.furious.com/perfect/magma.html |title=Magma |magazine=[[Perfect Sound Forever (magazine)|Perfect Sound Forever]] |first=Peter |last=Thelen |year=1995|access-date=16 October 2009}}</ref> The lyrics were all in Kobaïan (except the title track, sung mostly in English), a language Vander constructed for the album, some sung by soloists and others by "massive quasi-operatic choruses".<ref name=Wire-p2/> Over the next three decades, Magma have made fifteen albums that continues the mythology of Kobaïa, all sung in Kobaïan.<ref name=TinyMixTapes/>
 
Vander (his Kobaïan name is Zëbëhn Straïn dë Ğeuštaah) said in an interview that he invented Kobaïan for Magma because "French just wasn't expressive enough. Either for the story or for the sound of the music".<ref name=Telegraph/><ref name=Wire-p4>{{Cite magazine|url=http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/2324/?pageno=4 |title=Different Drummer: Magma – interview with Christian Vander, page 4 |magazine=[[The Wire (magazine)|The Wire]] |first=Paul |last=Stump |date=July 1995 |access-date=16 October 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110604202020/http://www.thewire.co.uk/articles/2324/?pageno=4 |archive-date= 4 June 2011}}</ref> He said that the language developed in parallel with the music, that sounds appeared as he was composing on a piano.<ref name=DrummerWorld>{{Cite web|url=http://www.drummerworld.com/drummers/Christian_Vander.html |title=Christian Vander interview |website=[[Drummerworld]] |first=Theresa |last=Stern |access-date=16 October 2009}}</ref> Vander based Kobaïan in part on elements of [[Slavic languages|Slavic]] and [[Germanic languages]] and in part on the [[Scat singing|scat]]-[[yodeling]] vocal style of American [[Avant-garde music|avant -garde]] jazz singer [[Leon Thomas]].<ref name=Wire-p2/> The subsequent expansion of the language became a group effort, and as Magma's personnel changed, so new ideas were incorporated into the language (and the music).<ref name=PSF/>
 
British music critic [[Ian MacDonald]] said that Kobaïan is "[[Phonetics|phonetic]], not [[Semantics|semantic]]", and that it is based on "[[Sonority hierarchy|sonorities]], not on applied meanings".<ref name=MacDonald>{{Cite web|url=http://www.orkalarm.co.uk/orkalarm04/04_an_irresistible_life_force.htm |title=An Irresistible Life Force |website=Ork Alarm! |year=1975 |first=Ian |last=MacDonald |author-link=Ian MacDonald |access-date=16 October 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120227200309/http://www.orkalarm.co.uk/orkalarm04/04_an_irresistible_life_force.htm |archive-date=27 February 2012}}</ref> One of Magma's singers, Klaus Blasquiz, described Kobaïan as "a language of the heart" whose words are "inseparable from the music".<ref name=MacDonald/> Magma expert Michael Draine said "the abstraction provided by the Kobaïan verse seems to inspire Magma's singers to heights of emotional abandon rarely permitted by conventional lyrics".<ref name=Wire-p2/>
Line 105 ⟶ 106:
 
Vander was musically influenced by [[John Coltrane]] and [[Carl Orff]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Quietus {{!}} Features {{!}} Speaking In Tongues: Magma Interviewed By Musicians |url=https://thequietus.com/articles/27223-magma-interview-christian-stella-vander |access-date=2022-04-26 |website=The Quietus |language=en-us}}</ref>
 
The mythology of Kobaïa seems to be strongly influenced by the esoteric ''[[The Urantia Book]]'', a kind of pseudo-[[bible]] that combines religious elements of various origins with scientific findings and science fiction. Furthermore, the motifs surrounding the myth of Kobaïa, particularly in the first three albums, have similarities with [[Johannes Kepler]]'s novel ''[[Somnium (novel)|Somnium]]'' from 1634, [[Francis Godwin]]'s novel ''[[The Man in the Moone]]'' from 1638 and [[Cyrano de Bergerac]]'s ''The Other World'' (Orig. ''L'autre monde''), whose works gained new popularity in France in the 1970s. With the album ''Theusz Hamthaak'', the motifs increasingly approach modern science fiction literature of the 20th century such as [[H. G. Wells]]' ''[[The Time Machine]]'', [[Olaf Stapledon]]'s ''The Last and the First Men'' and ''The Star Maker'' of 1930 or [[Arthur C. Clark]]'s ''[[The Lost Generation (book)|The Last Generation]]'' from 1953. However, Vander has not yet commented directly on the sources of his inspirations.<ref>{{Cite journal|first=Łukasz |last=Stec |title=Space Utopia in the 1970s of the Twentieth Century on the Basis of the Kobaïan World |editor=Ksenia Olkusz |editor2=Michał Kłosiński |editor3=Krzysztof M.
