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 a notable institution from 1967 to 1968. In 1970, she spent a year at the New York University School of the Arts. Radigue's music, created using an ARP 2500 synthesizer and recording tape, gained attention for its sensitive and dappled purity. She was in residence at the electronic music studios of the University of Iowa and California Institute of the Arts in 1973. In 1975, she became a disciple of Tibetan Buddhism, and after four years of study, she began a large-scale cycle of works based on the life of the 11th-century Tibetan master Milarepa. Her music has been performed throughout Europe and the United States, characterized by an ambience where sound flows around the listener. She was married to the French artist from 1953 to 1971, and they had three children together, including their youngest child who lived from 1954 to 1989.
