A portrait of Eliane Radigue

In this portrait created by the Austrian Institute of Media Archeology we see Eliane Radigue, a remarkable French composer, talking about the process of composition and recording. As her cat sleeps on the cupboard, we see her tweaking the knobs of the old ARP 2500 synthesizer.

Eliane Radigue about her sounds: 

If you are ready to open yourself up to them, to listen truly and devote yourself to listening, they really have a fascinating, magnetic power. [...] Above all I listened to them with the greatest respect, trying to understand what they had to say.

Thanks Ben, I really like it too. Its inspiring to see how dedicated she is to her work, to her sounds.

Absolutely I agree - it's also inspiring to see someone dedicated to a particular instrument - the world of electronic music moves so fast that I feel the decision to stay with this instrument and explore all of it's intricacies for years is remarkable. She strikes me as a very calm and patient woman.
