Éliane Radigue

Éliane Radigue (born January 24, 1932[1]) is a French electronic music composer.[2] She began working in the 1950s and her first compositions were presented in the late 1960s. Until 2000 her work was almost exclusively created with the ARP 2500 modular synthesizer and tape.[3] Since 2001 she has composed mainly for acoustic instruments.[4]

Biography edit

Radigue was born in a modest family of merchants and raised in Paris at Les Halles.[5] She later married the French-born American artist Arman with whom she lived in Nice while raising their three children, before returning to Paris in 1967. She had studied piano and was already composing before hearing a broadcast by the founder of musique concrète Pierre Schaeffer. She soon met him, and in the early '50s became his student, working periodically at the Studio d'Essai during visits to Paris. In the early 1960s, she was assistant to Pierre Henry, creating some of the sounds which appeared in his works.[6] As her own work matured, Schaeffer and Henry felt that her use of microphone feedback and long tape loops (as heard in Vice-Versa and Feedback Works 1969-1970) was moving away from their ideals, though her practice was still related to their methods.

Career edit

1955–1957: Apprenticeship in musique concrète edit

Radigue's initial education on electroacoustic music was from composer Pierre Schaeffer, to whom she was introduced via radio broadcasts of his music. After meeting him in person through a mutual friend,[7] Radigue started her music education under Schaeffer and Pierre Henry at Studio d'Essai de la Radiodiffusion Nationale in Paris on 1955. At the institution, Radigue was trained on tape music techniques as a part of her education in musique concrète. Radigue described the experience of working in the Groupe de Recherche de Musique Concrète as eye-opening, as it introduced her to the idea that any sounds were able to be considered musical. However, she also described her early music to be paralleled from the practice as both of her educators disfavored electronic music over musique concrète principles.[7][5][8]

1960s: Tape feedback edit

Radigue left Studio d'Essai due to the need to support her children's education. As she lost access to studios and equipment, she pursued music education on classical composition, harp, and piano.[9] In 1967, Radigue reconnected with Pierre Henry and started to work as his assistant at Studio Apsome. During this time, she developed a particular interest in tape feedback technique, as it fit her sonic vision of minuscule developments over an extended time.[10][11] After a year, Radigue resigned and started her professional music career, primarily working within the tape editing medium.

1970s–1990s: Experiments with synthesizers edit

Around 1970, Radigue created her first synthesizer-based music in a studio she shared with Laurie Spiegel on a Buchla synthesizer installed by Morton Subotnick at NYU. (Chry-ptus dates from this time.) Her goal at this point was to create a slow, purposeful "unfolding" of sound through the use of analogue synthesizers and magnetic tape, with results she felt to be closer to the minimal composers of New York at the time than to the French musique concrète composers who had been her previous allies.[12] She experimented with Buchla and Moog synthesizers before finding in the ARP 2500 synthesizer the vehicle she would use exclusively for the next 25 years in forging her characteristic sound,[13] beginning with Adnos I (1974). After that work's premiere at Mills College at the invitation of Robert Ashley, a group of visiting French music students spoke to her about Tibetan Buddhism, a subject she found fascinating and began investigating upon her return to Paris.[14]

Buddhist influence edit

After investigating Tibetan Buddhism, she quickly converted and spent the next three years devoted to its practice under her guru Tsuglak Mawe Wangchuk (the tenth incarnation of Pawo Rinpoche),[15] who subsequently sent her back to her musical work. She returned to composition, picking up where she left off, using the same working methods and goals as before, finishing Adnos II in 1979 and Adnos III in 1980. Then came a series of works dedicated to Milarepa,[16] the great Tibetan yogi, known for his Hundred Thousand Songs representing the basis of his teaching. First she composed the Songs of Milarepa, followed by Jetsun Mila, an evocation of the life of this great master; the creation of these works was sponsored by the French government.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, she devoted herself to a singular three-hour work. Considered to be her masterpiece,[17] the Trilogie de la Mort was released in 1998;[18] the first part kyema Intermediate states follows the path of the continuum of the six states of consciousness. The work was influenced as much by the Bardo Thodol (aka Tibetan Book of the Dead) and her meditation practice, as by the deaths of Tsuglak Mawe Wangchuk and of her son Yves Arman. The first third of the Trilogie, "Kyema", was her first recording to be released on Phill Niblock's XI label. In his AllMusic review, "Blue" Gene Tyranny described Trilogie de la Mort as a "profound work of electronic music".[18]

2000s–present: Acoustic works edit

In 2000, she made her last electronic work in Paris, L'Ile Re-sonante, for which she received the Golden Nica Award at the festival Ars Electronica in 2006.[19]

In 2001, on request from electric bassist and composer Kasper T. Toeplitz, she created her first instrumental work, Elemental II,[20] which she took up again with The Lappetites, a laptop improvisation group comprising Antye Greie/AGF, Kaffe Matthews and Ryoko Akama.[21] She participated in their first album Before the Libretto on the Quecksilber label in 2005.

Since 2004 she has dedicated herself to works for acoustic instruments. First with the American cellist Charles Curtis, the first part of Naldjorlak was premiered in December 2005 in New York and later played in 25 concerts across the U.S. and Europe. The second part of Naldjorlak for the two basset horn players Carol Robinson and Bruno Martinez, was created in September 2007 at the Aarau Festival (Switzerland). The three musicians completed the third part of Naldjorlak with Radigue and premiered the complete work, "Naldjorlak I,II,III", in Bordeaux on January 24, 2009. In June 2011 her composition for solo harp Occam I, written for the harpist Rhodri Davies, was premiered in London. Numerous solos and ensemble pieces in the OCCAM cycle have followed.

concrete principles 7 5 8 1960s Tape feedback edit Radigue left Studio d Essai due to the need to support her children s education As she lost access to studios and equipment she pursued music education on classical composition harp and piano 9 In 1967 Radigue reconnected with Pierre Henry and started to work as his assistant at Studio Apsome During this time she developed a particular interest in tape feedback technique as it fit her sonic vision of minuscule developments over an extended time 10 11 After a year Radigue resigned and started her professional music career primarily working within the tape editing medium 1970s 1990s Experiments with synthesizers edit Around 1970 Radigue created her first synthesizer based music in a studio she shared with Laurie Spiegel on a Buchla synthesizer installed by Morton Subotnick at NYU Chry ptus dates from this time Her goal at this point was to create a slow purposeful unfolding of sound through the use of analogue synthesizers and magnetic tape with results she felt to be closer to the minimal composers of New York at the time than to the French musique concrete composers who had been her previous allies 12 She experimented with Buchla and Moog synthesizers before finding in the ARP 2500 synthesizer the vehicle she would use exclusively for the next 25 years in forging her characteristic sound 13 beginning with Adnos I 1974 After that work s premiere at Mills College at the invitation of Robert Ashley a group of visiting French music students spoke to her about Tibetan Buddhism a subject she found fascinating and began investigating upon her return to Paris 14 Buddhist influence edit After investigating Tibetan Buddhism she quickly converted and spent the next three years devoted to its practice under her guru Tsuglak Mawe Wangchuk the tenth incarnation of Pawo Rinpoche 15 who subsequently sent her back to her musical work She returned to composition picking up where she left off using the same working methods and goals as before finishing Adnos II in 1979 and Adnos III in 1980 Then came a series of works dedicated to Milarepa 16 the great Tibetan yogi known for his Hundred Thousand Songs representing the basis of his teaching First she composed the Songs of Milarepa followed by Jetsun Mila an evocation of the life of this great master the creation of these works was sponsored by the French government In the late 1980s and early 1990s she devoted herself to a singular three hour work Considered to be her masterpiece 17 the Trilogie de la Mort was released in 1998 18 the first part kyema Intermediate states follows the path of the continuum of the six states of consciousness The work was influenced as much by the Bardo Thodol aka Tibetan Book of the Dead and her meditation practice as by the deaths of Tsuglak Mawe Wangchuk and of her son Yves Arman The first third of the Trilogie Kyema was her first recording to be released on Phill Niblock s XI label In his AllMusic review Blue Gene Tyranny described Trilogie de la Mort as a profound work of electronic music 18 2000s present Acoustic works edit In 2000 she made her last electronic work in Paris L Ile Re sonante for which she received the Golden Nica Award at the festival Ars Electronica in 2006 19 In 2001 on request from electric bassist and composer Kasper T Toeplitz she created her first instrumental work Elemental II 20 which she took up again with The Lappetites a laptop improvisation group comprising Antye Greie AGF Kaffe Matthews and Ryoko Akama 21 She participated in their first album Before the Libretto on the Quecksilber label in 2005 Since 2004 she has dedicated herself to works for acoustic instruments First with the American cellist Charles Curtis the first part of Naldjorlak was premiered in December 2005 in New York and later played in 25 concerts across the U S and Europe The second part of Naldjorlak for the two basset horn players Carol Robinson and Bruno Martinez was created in September 2007 at the Aarau Festival Switzerland The three musicians completed the third part of Naldjorlak with Radigue and premiered the complete work Naldjorlak I II III in Bordeaux on January 24 2009 In June 2011 her composition for solo harp Occam I written for the harpist Rhodri Davies was premiered in London Numerous solos and ensemble pieces in the OCCAM cycle have
