Written amid the social upheavals of the late 1960s, it stages a feminist allegory in which performers vie for dominance, blending structure, improvisation, and satire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy pairing these two works – one purely environmental, the other instrumental – on a single album, Ferrari collapsed the boundaries between electronic and acoustic music, redefining what composition could be and establishing a model of expressive multiplicity that continues to shape experimental sound today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vinyl was mastered and cut from the original analogue 2-track master tapes by Rainer Maillard and Sidney Claire Meyer at Emil Berliner Studios and features original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector’s sleeve. It is released as a limited and numbered edition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat \/ \u003cb\u003eLP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReleased \/ \u003cb\u003e05\/08\/2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCatalogue \/ \u003cb\u003eDEGR-241084\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBarcode \/ \u003cb\u003e028948682195\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist \/ \u003cb\u003eKonstantin Simonovitch\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel \/ \u003cb\u003eDeutsche Grammophon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenre \/ \u003cb\u003eClassical\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UMGD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43142626541629,"sku":"CLS-S-028948682195","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1487\/4550\/files\/ADGR_41084__197541__03052026031950-5381.jpg?v=1777662088","url":"https:\/\/www.plaidroomrecords.com\/products\/konstantin-simonovitch-luc-ferrari-presque-rien-no-1-societe-ii","provider":"Plaid Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
