Eliane Radigue has composed electronic music since the sixties.
She is the only French woman composer of her generation who
can be considered to be a pioneer of this genre, and of minimal
music as well.
Her music is a slow flux of dense sounds subject to imperceptible
mutations. A timeless architecture of deep vibrations speaking
not to the intellect or to hearing, but to the entire body.
A music which is unsettling if one submerges oneself in it.
A music that possesses the monumental subtlety of the movement
of oceans.
Emmanuel Holterbach
