Luc Ferrari
Luc Ferrari (February 5, 1929 – August 22, 2005) was a French composer, particularly noted for his tape music.
Ferrari was born in Paris and studied the piano under Alfred Cortot, musical analysis under Olivier Messiaen and composition under Arthur Honegger. His first works were freely atonal.
In 1954, Ferrari went to the United States to meet Edgard Varèse, whose Déserts he had heard on the radio, and had impressed him. This seems to have had a great effect on him Read Full BioLuc Ferrari (February 5, 1929 – August 22, 2005) was a French composer, particularly noted for his tape music.
Ferrari was born in Paris and studied the piano under Alfred Cortot, musical analysis under Olivier Messiaen and composition under Arthur Honegger. His first works were freely atonal.
In 1954, Ferrari went to the United States to meet Edgard Varèse, whose Déserts he had heard on the radio, and had impressed him. This seems to have had a great effect on him, with the tape part in Déserts serving as inspiration for Ferrari to use magnetic tape in his own music.
In 1958 he co-founded the Groupe des Recherche Musicales with Pierre Schaeffer and François-Bernard Mâche. He taught in institutions around the world, and worked for film, theatre and radio.
By the early 1960s, Ferrari had begun work on his Hétérozygote, a piece for magnetic tape which uses ambient environmental sounds in "an organized and poetic, though non-plot oriented manner." The use of ambient recordings was to become a distinctive part of Ferrari's musical language. (Tyranny)
Ferrari's Presque rien No. 1 'Le Lever du jour au bord de la mer' (1970) is regarded as a classic of its kind. In it, Ferrari takes a day-long recording of environmental sounds at a Yugoslavian beach and, through editing, makes a piece that lasts just twenty-one minutes. It has been seen as an affirmation of John Cage's idea that music is always going on all around us, and if only we were to stop to listen to it, we would realise this.
Ferrari continued to write purely instrumental music as well as his tape pieces. He also made a number of documentary films on contemporary composers in rehearsal, including Olivier Messiaen and Karlheinz Stockhausen.

I have this image in my head when listening to this. It's like a super dark, almost pitch black landscape with mountains in the distance. Every few seconds, lightning flashes behind the mountains and a silhouette is standing a couple yards in front of me and I can barely make it out but it seems to be walking towards me slowly. I can't stop thinking about this idea. I want to make a movie with this as a scene so bad.

do it! :)

Luc Ferrari is in my top 7 favorite composers. Anecdotal Music (recordings of sounds in the street and other non-musical arenas) requires a special skill to enjoy, not for everybody. He has done so many different types of music, all interesting to me, some thrilling, almost techno at times. Complete Film Music, a set of 3 CDs, is incredible, especially "Cyclotron". THANKS for uploading this!

One of my cats loved this song.

It is so robust, so Anti Music, so natural, so real, Sir Eel.

Because of the birds. I guess.
