The Strange Attractor team is looking forward to attending some of the London concerts taking place this week of French composer Eliane Radigue’s beautiful electronic music.
Radigue’s history is fascinating: born in 1932, early in her career she worked with the fathers of musique concrete, Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer. However, she developed a compositional style of her own that was based around tape loops and early Buchla and ARP synthesisers, creating slowly unfolding, long-form pieces that were subsequently infulenced by her growing interest in Tibetan Buddhism. In recent years she has composed for instrumentalists as well as electronics, and Triptych: The Music of Eliane Radigue, which is curated by new music organisation Sound and Music, showcases both in this major retrospective that lasts until the weekend of 25 June.
