IMAfiction portrait #04: Éliane Radigue (Screening)
Paris, 2006

Seit den 1960er Jahren komponiert Éliane Radigue elektronische Musik. Sie zählt zu den bedeutendsten und innovativsten Komponistinnen des 21. Jahrhunderts.  Als einzige französische Komponistin ihrer Generation kann Radigue sowohl als Pionierin der elektronischen Musik als auch der Minimal Music bezeichnet werden.

“Ihre Musik gleicht einem langsamen Strom, der sich durch dichte, kaum wahrnehmbare Klangveränderungen bewegt.
Eine zeitlose Architektonik tief gehender Klänge, die nicht nur den Verstand oder das Hören ansprechen, sondern den ganzen Körper.” (Emmanuel Holterbach, Übersetzung aus dem Englischen Gina Mattiello)
