Biografie van de kunstenaar 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 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.
