Great to hear live diffusions of 'Petite Symphony' and (especially) 'Presque Rien II' plus a new realisation of 'Ephemere 1' on a multi channel speaker system at Cafe Oto last Thursday. My first exposure to Ferrari's music.

I was there during the week. Should really have bought that box set.

.. last week rather.

sorry I didn't see you dadismus, should have shouted out beforehand, was there for most of it

liked that jim o'rourke quintet version of 'éphémère' (sounded like a mashed cover of both versions, I and II). but 'presque rien II' is always the showstopper, made sense to end all eight days with that one.

that 'complete works' book is worth it. his records/cds aren't even a third of his works; the book gives you a walkthrough of all his live theater / films, and an overview of the scores for live performance. + many interviews.

the other merch table revelation was this: https://www.discogs.com/Luc-Ferrari-Avec-Otomo-Yoshihide-Les-Archives-Sauv%C3%A9es-Des-Eaux/release/1623011 -- liner notes from otomo uncharacteristic & emotional; in 2003 he'd mostly moved on from sampling / referential turntablism, but couldn't pass up the opportunity to work with ferrari so bent his own strict aesthetic rules to do so, and then the work with mr heterozygote himself, who spent his own career breaking every/any formal process possible, led to the late-period avant-big band otomo where he just began allowing himself to incorporate & move between all of his previous styles

Hi, Jon, I was working late all that week so could only get to the Apartment House performance, I don't know if you were there, I didn't see you. Next time!
