“Presented here for the first time, “Ephemere I & II” (for tape, or to be played with various instruments) are two previously unpublished masterpieces which represent for several reasons a very specific moment in the creative life and catalogue of Luc Ferrari. Even if Luc Ferrari’s perfect skill in creating some of the most beautiful sonic works ever is now well known to the large audience appreciating his music, the undetermined character marking the two work present here for is quite surprising. Luc Ferrari was tempted in the mid-1970s by the idea of leaving the final realization of these pieces open to the performers intervention (a perspective he decided not to develop in future researches). “Exercises d’Improvisation”, a score conceived in 1977 and unreleased for almost 35 years (first recorded this year by the GOL collective with Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari for an LP soon to be issued on PLANAM), directly comes from the two works presented here. “Ephemere I” (or “L’ordinateur ça sert à quoin?” i.e. “What’s the use of computers”) is a 27 minutes piece for tape only created in 1974, conceived as a kind of electronic drone superimposed by fragments of multi-language whispered voices that creates the thrilling effect of a “sea-like” continuum. “Ephemere II” (or “Lyon 75” after the only recorded realization) is a 51 minutes tape piece with guitar improvisation. The electronic repetitive structure reminds some of the most radical works of American composer Terry Riley, while the guitar sounds, first resulting as live manipulated pointillistic impulses, develop into a blues sonority superimposing the tape drone and creating a heavy psychedelic atmosphere of the most sublime kind. The end of this long suite lead us back into more abstract and live-electronic sonorities. This very intense work can be placed in a context between scored music and totally improvised music. First press limited to 500 copies in tri-folded digipack sleeve. Please note: these 2 previously unpublished pieces revealing a hidden part of Luc Ferrari poetics are not included in the INA 10CD boxset. Only available on this CD edition.” label info
Réédition. Inédit. “Éphémère I. L’ordinateur ça sert à quoi ?” novembre 1974. “Éphémère II. Lyon 75” novembre 1975. “Bande seule, ou à jouer avec divers instruments. Instrumentation libre. Cette pièce musicale – qui comme son nom l’indique est basée sur des “effets de mer”, est destinée à des instrumentistes aussi bien professionnels qu’amateurs, et à des musiciens ouverts à tous les genres musicaux. La bande sert de partition. comme son nom l’indique aussi, cette bande a été conçue pour un moment d’occasion. Cette œuvre se situe entre la musqiue écrite et la musique totalement improvisée. Luc Ferrari propose un jeu instrumental ne devant pas être une réelle improvisation… En effet, l’auteur demande aux interprètes une préparation à cette “improvisation”. Dans la version proposée par “Colrim” la flûte et le piano sont amplifiés mais cette amplification est “modulée” par Bruno d’Auzon qui, outre la diffusion et la spatialisation de la bande elle-même dispose de plusieurs improvisations préenregistrées par Gérard Garcin et Jacques Raynaut venant, sous la commande de B. d’Auzon, répondre et créer ainsi un contrepoint à l’improvisation en direct. “Les instrumentistes doivent se considérer comme créateurs, la bande est rigide, égrave” et ce que proposent les réalisateurs est éphémère.” Luc Ferrari” notes du label
