Éliane Radigue was a French composer born on January 24, 1932, in Paris, and she passed away on February 24, 2026, in the same city. She studied electro-acoustic music techniques and served as an assistant at an unspecified institution from 1967 to 1968. In 1970, Radigue worked for a year at the New York University School of the Arts, and her music, created using an ARP 2500 synthesizer and medium recording tape, gained recognition for its sensitive and dappled purity. She held residencies at the electronic music studios of the University of Iowa and California Institute of the Arts in 1973. Radigue became a disciple of Tibetan Buddhism in 1975, and after four years of study, she began a large-scale cycle of works inspired by the life of the 11th-century Tibetan master Milarepa. Her music has been performed throughout Europe and the United States and is characterized by an ambience where sound appears to move in a continual flow around the listener. Described as "infinitely discreet," her compositions stand out in the realm of electroacoustic music. Radigue was married to the French artist from 1953 to 1971, and they had three children, including their youngest, who lived from 1954 to 1989.
