Eliane Radigue

Eliane Radigue (born 1932) is a French musician who has composed for synthesizer and magnetic tape since 1970. Unusually, since the early 1970s, she has tended to work almost exclusivly with a single synth, the ARP 2500 modular system. She studied with Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry intermittently in the 1950s and 60s and developed her editing techniques under their tutelage in Musique Concrete.

Vice Versa, Etc.
2021 restock. "Includes liner notes & archival photographs. 1970 was an important year in Eliane Radigue's musical life since it was the year just before she acquired her ARP 2500 synthesizer.
