Album IT 2009 on Elica label
Electronic (Musique Concrète)
After the publication of Danses Organiques, Elica is pleased to present two previously unreleased compositions by Luc Ferrari from the early 80's: the stereo magnetic tape piece Dialogue Ordinaire Avec La Machine coupled with Sexolidad, a composition for fifteen instruments. Dialogue Ordinaire Avec La Machine describes the not so chance meeting between the artists (Ferrari helped by Yannick Gornet) and the mysteriously working machine (a sampler). Sexolidad is one of Ferrari's most seductive instrumental pieces, representing a journey over the body, in which tonalities and their mix create “a particular harmonic climate [...]. What is important is the expression this pseudo-tonal atmosphere should bring out, as a sort of sensual, and even carnal, satisfaction”. The curious concept and its musical composition result in an extremely enjoyable piece which is continuously intriguing, evocative, dauntless, persuasive and highly satisfying, exquisitely performed here by the Ives Ensemble. Digi-pack type cover with specifically retouched artworks by Jacques Brissot, who has also directed films for which Ferrari composed the soundtrack and who also made the cover for the composer's Cellule 75 LP. It also includes a 24-page booklet with bilingual (French-English) versions of the integrated text from Sexolidad and the lyrics to the Love Song with the Machine. Thanks to Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari, Jacques Brissot, Keri Neff, Kevin Spencer, Simona Zucca and Willy Levrone.
