Brunhild Ferrari composed “Tranquilles Impatiences” using material by her husband, the late French-Italian composer Luc Ferrari—specifically, five of the seven tapes he created for 1977’s Exercices d’improvisation. Between them, Luc and Brunhild Ferrari created a unique musical world, one where sounds were porous and active, and where an interest in the sonic aspects of everyday life met an engagement with the cinematic possibilities of organizing sound. Over the decades, Brunhild Ferrari would be a significant interlocutor in her partner’s work, and a powerful creative force in her own right.
