Interrupteur/Tautologos 3 was released on LP by EMI La Voix De Son Maître/Pathé Marconi as part of the Perspectives Musicales series - see also these entries by Xenakis; EIDMC Paris cond. Simonovich again supply the ensemble parts. In both pieces, Ferrari was trying out a form of musical stasis that would self-evolve with a series of random events. Interrupteur runs for 19 minutes (on CD, both works are split into possibly arbitrary track divisions) against the backdrop of an ongoing drone, with a kind of avant-garde classical meets free-jazz style overlay. Tautlogos 3 is more random and jagged in nature, but a chugging guitar gets it into gear at points, as does an imitation of an ambulance siren that develops with more instruments adding to it. Both are fanastic pieces of musical experimentation, well worth headphone immersion.
