description: pioneer of electronic music
Type of information: Person
Field: sound, music and amplification
context: French composer Eliane Radigue (born January 24, 1932) first discovered electronic music on a radio show in the 50s. Shortly thereafter, thanks to a chance encounter she began an apprenticeship with Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, founders of musique concrète. When she started to make her own work, she developed a particular interest in tape feedback technique. Using feedback, tape loops, and beginning in the 70s, the ARP 2500 modular synthesizer, Radigue's haunting long duration compositions are expressions of her deep reflections on sound and listening.
