Presque Rien, by Luc Ferrari

Presque Rien

by Luc Ferrari

supported by

notabutabu Changed my concept of listening, and inspired to explore more field recording records. Favorite track: Presque rien n°1, le lever du jour au bord de la mer.

J.-P. Drecourt The master at work. Presque Rien no. 1 inspired me to compose electroacoustic music. Favorite track: Presque rien n°2, ainsi continue la nuit dans ma tête multiple.

Joseph Guisti Listened to no. 2 while falling asleep, things got real wavy

Robert Krajewski Perhaps the most subversive and playful musique concrète. Takes you into apparent realism and then revels in artifice.

about

REGRM 005

Presque rien n°1, le lever du jour au bord de la mer, 1967–1970 (21'11)

Following the complete disappearance of abstract sounds, we can regard this piece as a sonic snapshot and the culmination of an evolution. This is a realistic rendering (as faithful as possible) of a fishing village waking up. The first idea of minimalism.

Presque rien n°2, ainsi continue la nuit dans ma tête multiple, 1977 (21'37)

Description of a landscape at night that a soundman attempts to define through microphones, but the night surprises the "hunter" and creeps inside his head. It then becomes a double description: The inner landscape transforms the outer night and by composing it, adds its own reality (a fantasy of reality) or, perhaps, a psychoanalysis of his 'nightscape'?

Presque rien avec filles, 1989 (13'54)

Within paradoxical landscapes, a photographer/composer is hidden whilst girls are having a sort of picnic on the grass. Without being aware of it, they offer him the spectacle of their intimacy.

Presque rien n°4, la remontée du village, 1990–1998 (16'00)

I always hesitated before releasing a Presque rien. For instance, it took two years for the first one to come out and things went on this way. The fourth one, took nine years of hesitating. But here it is. Perhaps because this is a real Presque rien fake where reality and lies mix. This is the ascend into the old town of Ventimiglia.
