Film: Eliane Radigue – Virtuoso Listening (2011)
Sentralen/Vinterhagen
8 September, 1 pm (65 mins)
Free entry
Screening of Anaïs Prosaïc’s documentary about the life and music of Eliane Radigue. The French composer, born in 1932, has emerged from the 1960s school of musique concrete and electroacoustic music to create her own monumental, meditative and epic synthesizer compositions that engage with enormous questions of life, death and existence, mediated through her strong Buddhist faith.
Since 2001 she has stopped using electronics and has composed exclusively for acoustic instruments, and this intimate portrait film also includes contributions from musicians who have become regular players of her recent compositions, including Charles Curtis, AGF, Kaffe Matthews, Rhodri Davies, Kasper Toeplitz and more.
During the festival it is possible to experience her music at severel concerts.
With support from Norwegian Society of Composers.
