OSCILLATORS AND SYNTHESIZERS, LADIES AND PIONEERS...

Islas resonantes, Eliane Radigue

Eliane Radigue (1932). For twenty years, she has been creating exclusively in acoustic, always adhering to minimalist stylistic elements with influences of Musique Concrète, but the Lady revealed her talents as a sound and sensation researcher after getting to know the Buchla synthesizer and then the ARP Odyssey and other analog polyphonics in the early '70s. Before that, much experimentation at the highest levels. The encounter with meditation and the disciplines of Buddhism, including music and sounds, became crucial, leading her to conceive her works as a unique whole of music-spirituality-religion.
