Luc Ferrari is among the best known of the early electronic music pioneers. He was director of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales from 1959 to 1960, working closely with Pierre Schaeffer, and his music played a decisive role in defining the range of musique concrète. But he went further to become one of the most radical composers of his time, and this CD, with its incisive character and exceptional sounds, marks the starting point for his artistic evolution. The compositions include 'Etudes aux accidents / Study on accidents' (1958), 'Etudes aux sons tendus / Study on stretched sounds ' (1958), 'Visages V / Appearance V' (1959), 'Tête et queue du dragon / Head and tail of the dragon' (1960), 'Tautologos 1' (1961), 'Tautologos 2' (1961), 'Und so weiter / and so much further' (1966, with Gérard Frémy, pianist).
