Labyrinthe de Violence

Hand-numbered gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeves
The venerable Alga Marghen returns with “Labyrinthe de Violence”, their new release of previously unreleased recordings by Luc Ferrari connected to his Atelier de Libération de la Musique experience, this time sprawling across two stunning LPs. Capturing the four soundtracks conceived for the Galiéra Museum installation in Paris, we encounter the composer imbued with politics and social concern, in a dramatic atmosphere like he’s rarely been heard. Absolutely astounding and as historically important as archival releases come. This one can’t be missed!
Labyrinthe de Violence is a truly illuminating statement that takes us into the mind of one of the most important composers of the 20th Century, while deftly bridging the gap between us and the turbulent 1970s. Each of its works is brilliant through its ideas and imbued with a remarkable sense of directness, life, and feeling. They are human, open, and do everything which Ferrari set out to do in his grand project in sound. It boggles the mind to understand why these recordings have remained out of earshot for so long. Alga Marghen has done it again. Issued in a beautiful gatefold edition, these never before heard recordings are as essential as archival releases come
