At the sprightly age of 75, Luc Ferrari is ever active in expanding our world of sound with his recordings and performances.
Alongside Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, Ferrari was a pioneer in "musique concrete", a form of tape music using non-musical sounds ordered into revelatory compositions.
Back in 1970 Ferrari completed Presque Rien No. 1, where he recorded the ambient sounds of a village in Yugoslavia throughout the day, then seamlessly compressed the 24 hours into just 21 minutes, with no traditional musical sounds present at all.

Ferrari inserts faster, sharper sounds into this industrial flow, all in all achieving a brutal environment with sudden lights blinding you as screeching frictions sliding weights sideways down tilting surfaces produce clouds of metal dust.
Muffled movements behind the wall or down in the cellar bounce between the walls, as modally gestured grindings and perhaps the electroacoustic mimicry of a dog’s bark in the yard rise in eerie windfalls of Mid-Western funnel sightings.
Evidently Ferrari’s artistic language has evolved quite a bit since the earliest pieces, as I recognize a hitherto non-present dreamy aspect like a mystical aura around this sound world and around each sound object within it, envisioned in the intuition of the sound poet.

The flute sounds and multiple echoes continue in changing musical modes throughout the piece (the tonic redefined by electronic drones), blending together with sounds of the countryside and conversational fragments from the human presence to create a beautiful sonic landscape of 25 minutes duration.
For the first time in a musique concrete work, the sounds are modulated and transformed but retain their natural character; the result is not abstract, but rather moves about the world with the ease of a thought or a dream.
In the Presque Rien (Almost Nothing) series of musique concrete pieces, Ferrari further developed this technique and sensibility with sounds and their interconnections that are almost unidentifiable, while nevertheless retaining a feeling of naturalness.
