condition (disc/cover): M / M (still sealed) Et Tournent Les Sons on Césaré captures Luc Ferrari in live performance, though "performance" barely describes the act. The spinning sounds of the title refer to tape reels in motion, that physical rotation that younger listeners may never have witnessed. For Ferrari, the reel wasn't just storage medium; it was instrument, partner, extension of the hand.

Césaré released this document of a composer playing his own archives, decades of field recordings shuffled and redealt in real time. The concert becomes séance, summoning sounds from years past, placing them in unexpected proximity. A voice recorded in 1970 meets a street noise from 1995; neither knows the other exists, yet here they are, conversing.

The danger of such performances is self-indulgence, the composer lost in private associations that exclude the audience. Ferrari navigated this risk through sheer musicality. Whatever his personal memories attached to these sounds, he shaped them into forms that communicated beyond autobiography. The disc preserves one night's particular arrangement; another night would have yielded different results entirely.
