ELIANE RADIGUE "Triptych" - CD
imprec260 - CD - $12.99 
Eliane Radigue: Arp 2500 Synthesizer
track listing:
A three-part composition, respectively:
17'47", 24'23", 19'27"
Back to music after three years of silence...
On the suggestion of Robert Ashley, Douglas Dunn commissioned this piece from Eliane Radigue for
choreography. Only the first part of Triptych was staged at the premiere at the Dancehall/Theatre
of Nancy on February 27 1978.
Recorded in the composer's studio in Paris.
After the premiere of Adnos I in San Francisco in 1974, a group of French students introduced Eliane Radigue
to Tibetan Buddhism. When she returned to Paris, she began to explore this spirituality in depth, which slowed
her musical production up until 1978. Triptych marks her return to composition, and draws its inspiration from
"the spirit of the fundamental elements", water, air, fire, earth....Eliane Radigue likes to add that this has
often been useful to her in her moments of research and transitions.
This three-part composition, with its great humility and contemplative simplicity, heralded a new period of
work and was the first in a series of masterpieces inspired by Tibetan Buddhism: Adnos II (1980), Adnos III
(1981), Songs of Milarepa (1983) - with the voices of Lama Kunga Rinpoche and Robert Ashley -, "Jetsun Mila"
(1986), as well as the Trilogy of Death: Kyema (1988), Kailasha (1991) and Koume (1993).

When we sent out the original reels for The
Wanderer to be transferred to digital we were shocked
and excited to have discovered an extended collaboration with David Tudor. It's with a terrific amount of excitement
that we present it here for the first time along with the
albums two original pieces. This is the sister album to Accordion
& Voice. (more) |

Three major works of sound assemblies. Crucial listening. Night Flights is a groundbreaking work from one of
the most influential of the first generation sound artists.
For some reason this staggering work has been left out of
print for over 20 years. Night Flights has been remastered
and includes updated liner notes from Christina Kubisch. (more) |
