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 worked as an assistant at an unspecified institution from 1967 to 1968. In 1970, Radigue spent a year at the New York University School of the Arts. Her music, primarily created using an ARP 2500 synthesizer and recording tape, garnered attention for its sensitive and dappled purity. In 1973, she was in residence at the electronic music studios of the University of Iowa and the California Institute of the Arts. 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 compositions, performed throughout Europe and the United States, are known for creating an ambience where sound flows continuously around the listener. Her music has been described as "infinitely discreet," contrasting with other music that seeks attention. She was married to a French artist from 1953 to 1971, and they had three children, the youngest of whom was born in 1954 and passed away in 1989.
