	Luc Ferrari
		From Varèse, Ferrari learned to treat sound as a thing in and of itself; also to place sound objects in the right time and space, from both an audio and psychological point of view.
		Shortly thereafter, Ferrari appeared on KPFA Radio in Berkeley, and his interviewers, Richard Friedman and Charles Amirkhanian, decided to follow his lead and solicit ambient sound recordings from individuals all over the globe.
		Luc Ferrari died of pneumonia in Arezzo, Italy, in August 2005.

		Ferrari was taken by the premiere of Déserts (1954), and in 1955 crossed the Atlantic on a cargo ship to visit Varèse in New York City.
		Ferrari’s “repetition by deviation” is more easily detected in a later work for harpsichord and tape, Programme commun pour clavecin et bande magnétique of 1972 (Adda 581233).
		While Ferrari was at the GRM, Schaeffer’s research led towards a solfège, a systematically developed massive encyclopedia of sounds organized into classifications destined to function as pure sounds divorced from their real-life associations.

	WFMU's Beware of the Blog: Luc Ferrari 1929-2005
		Paris-born composer Luc Ferrari has earned himself the title of true pioneer in music concrete, found sound usage and avant-garde music in general.
		Luc Ferrari possessed a sparkling sense of humor and quality of focus or presentness that, for anyone lucky enough to have enjoyed his company, will be impossible to forget.
		I think of his profound irreverence, his constitutional opposition to any kind of pomposity or pretentiousness and irreverence and an opposition that, as far as I could tell, were part of the fiber of his person.

	Molars: There was a lot of talk about dinosaurs and illiteracy
		As Andy Beta pointed out in his review of the EP on P-Fork, Luc Ferrari's "Presque Rien" had mapped the same sort of landscapes, 30 years prior.
		And it's this sound that Ferrari uses almost like a florist would use floral foam, as he zooms in on other discrete sonic objects and arranges them particularly, gracefully, over the length of the entire 'Promenade'.
		You can find a bunch of Ferrari's releases right over here, but if you're interested in owning a copy of "Presque Rien" on CD, it's going to be a little bit more difficult (check out the original vinyl available for a mere $280) to obtain.

		Luc Ferrari lived in a world of sound, his vocal and instrumental music sensual and seductive, his electronic music good natured and adventurous.
		Ferrari was the group's director for awhile and his early work not surprisingly reflected the conventions of the Schaeffer influence.
		But by 1963, at a time when Schaeffer had engaged his group in a theoretical classification of sounds according to morphological criteria, Ferrari was going in another direction.

		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.

		In the end, she managed to snag the legendary Luc Ferrari for performances in Berkeley and Santa Cruz.
		Ferrari brought Cage's famous line, "Music is all around us, if only we had ears to hear," to a whole new level, making music from recordings of a road trip through the American Southwest and a small village in Yugoslavia, and incorporating voyeuristic recordings from public places into a musical context.
		Nearly 50 years after Ferrari began his perverted experimentation, New York illbient turntablists like DJ Spooky and DJ Olive are incorporating elements of the musique concrète style into their recordings and performances.

	Luc Ferrari - Tautologos and Other Early Electronic Works
		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.
