"After her stunning collaborations with Vincent Royer (for Mode Records), Jim O'Rourke, and Christoph Heemann (both for Oren Ambarchi's Black Truffle Records) Brunhild Ferrari returns to the scene with this new solo album. Extérieur-jour is comprised of two previously unreleased compositions, one being the title track the album is named after and the other 'Le Piano Englouti (version original).' Extérieur-jour translates to 'Outside Day,' and indicates an instruction for a film scene, a piece of cinéma pour l'oreille, a movie for the ears. It was recorded at Luc Ferrari's Atelier Post Billig in January and February 2014. 'Le Piano Englouti' ('The Sunken Piano'), another electroacoustic composition which was realized over a period of fourteen years between 1996 and 2010, also brings forth cinematic elements with sound sources recorded in places as diverse as a Greek island by the noisy Agean Sea, a Pachinko place and a quiet island in Japan. It comes across as a meditation on the loss and reappearance of memory and silence. The graphics for the album sleeve were created by the late Wolfgang Meyer Tormin, artist and composer and also father of Brunhild Ferrari. The album was mastered for vinyl from the original source by Jim O'Rourke."

"Alga Marghen proudly presents the first record edition ever by Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari, a very refined and talented German composer, wife of Luc Ferrari with whom she collaborated for over 40 years in creating some of the most beautiful sound works ever created in the past decades. First there was 'Et tournent les sons dans la Garrigue' that Luc Ferrari composed in 1977 before 'Exercises d'Improvisation' in the same year (a previously unreleased work, to be issued on the PLANAM label). These two pieces '...conceived for individual or collective improvisation for any instrument or instrumental group...' are based on identical sound elements. 'Exercises d'Improvisation' consists of a sequence of 7 separate tapes, while for 'Et tournent les sons dans la Garrigue' Luc Ferrari mixed these tapes into one. Listening to the separate tapes Brunhild Meyer-Ferrari felt the irresistible desire to compose a new piece using ad libitum five of these seven tapes. As she remarked: 'Impatiences represents for me those high-pitched rhythmic sounds, those imperturbable wriggling interfering with the low rhythms which are falsely quiet, because each of them is submitted to different and contradictory rhythms. I wished these to be perturbing enough to make the physical balance stagger by fractions of seconds.' Edition limited to 300 copies, issued by Alga Marghen to celebrate the Oeuvres sonores 3 event conceived in collaboration with the New Media Department of Centre Pompidou and La mason rouge, Fondation Antoine de Galbert in Paris. This LP is the third in the Oeuvres sonores series after the Charlemagne Palestine Sound I LP and Luc Ferrari Danse LP." One-sided release.
