Entrevista a Luc Ferrari

06.1972

Charles Amirkhanian

Host of KPFA-FM's Ode to Gravity series Charles Amirkhanian, interviewed French composer Luc Ferrari (Paris, 1929) at his home in Paris in June of 1972. The night before the interview, Ferrari had a world premiere performance of his "Monologos I" at the Opera Comique. Ferrari discusses his compositional practices and experiments in voice and tape delay that developed into Monologos I. The two also talk about Ferrari's activities since 1970 which included the writing of his book "Les réalisable et le journal d'un autobiographe", a work of text compositions and part autobiography; and creating the first sonic chapter of his "ecological" series in observation, "Allô ici la terre". The interview also takes a philosophical turn as Ferrari describes the non-existence of "truth" or any correct "system", political or otherwise, and how we must devise many different ways of going about the act of living.

Musical selections during the program include:

Monologos I [live recording]

Performers: Luc Ferrari, electronics; Elise Ross, voice

Entrevista a Alvin Curran

Ode to Gravity - 17.05.1972

KPFA-FM / Charles Amirkhanian 

Charles Amirkhanian presents an Ode to Gravity program featuring an interview with the composer Alvin Curran (Rhode Island, 1938) from his home in Rome. Selections from this informal talk with Curran are interspersed with musical excerpts, with a special emphasis on the group Curran helped found in the mid-1960s, Musica Elettronica Viva (MEV). The composer discusses his co-founders, who included Frederic Rzewski, Richard Teitelbaum and Alan Bryant, and describes the synthesis of the group, its working methods, and the situation that led to its disbandment. Curran further describes the group’s second incarnation, MEV2, and briefly discusses his own recent work, Music for Every Occasion. The program concludes with selections by David Ahlstrom and Robert Erickson, released on an Orion disc New Music for Trumpet featuring Jack Logan.
