Autores ResumoIn this text, I explore aspects of Éliane Radigue's electronic works. Based on long standing exchanges and collaboration with Radigue herself, and 20 years of experience and involvement in the field of musique concrète, I aim to share a personal and problematized look at Radigue's unique approach. I will first examine the traditional musique concrète techniques that Radigue learned from Pierre Schaeffer and Pierre Henry, her own idiosyncratic explorations of these techniques and finally the extension of these techniques as carried out on her ARP 2500 synthesizer. I will then trace how this evolution emerged from Radigue's formative listening experiences—experiences, which led her to pursue a phenomenological approach, directed towards the listening to sounds rather than a structuralist one directed towards the apparition of sounds. This countercurrent approach can help illuminate the unique position Radigue took, and is still taking, in the electronic-experimental music landscape.
