I have found this sort of music extremely conducive to states of meditation and concentration recently but it has also strangely increased my appreciation of the sound of my central heating boiler and my refrigerator!
haha funny, I am not quite there yet...even though I have to shake my head, because this is what I put on to block out the sound of someone else vacuuming.
I wish in 2020 humanity would be more often like this, instead of having this illusion all the time that they have something special and very important to say to everyone all the time. Just shut up , and be still and calm. Please. edit: i just realised there is 1.3K likes against 32 dislikes! I am so proud , there is hope
It induces a feeling like your sitting in a hot tub next to a fridge and the fridge is open and you are both cold but hot at the same time. You have met both extremes. You have reached a medium. You are calm. You can breathe now.
The high frequences dance around my ears, they have a glittery grain. The lower ones are a comforting purring, like the sound of a motor vehicle travelling at a very steady speed. The soft popping sounds feel almost like a treat. My sense of taste is triggered. It's like one of those weird lollipops you could deep into the magic powder that popped in your mouth. Only this is for the ear and the brain. Such a pleasant feeling.
"It's actually difficult to imagine a piece being any more minimal than this and still having people want to hear it, but this turned out to be quite absorbing once I hit upon the perfect combination of volume and focused attention".
Crane MP - I have a line that exists only in my head - it's been there since my childhood but disappears for years at a time. It comes when I am lying down quietly and it has mass; I can 'feel' it as it runs through my brain. This piece effectively recreates my line.
... and if you were listening via my damaged output jack it would be even more minimal. i just tipped it and everything increased. Now I am caught sitting in/between two spaces
@@honeychurchgipsy6I am 49 and understand exactly what you’re referring to. It started before my first memory and comes and goes over the years.

Slow moving but overwhelming. Always felt exactly the same
I've experienced the Arp 2500 myself. I does sound beautiful but can be a difficult instrument. For Elaine to find such a beautiful still point with it is testament to her brilliance. Lovely work.
There's a fine line between messing around at random on an analog synth and messing around with a definite purpose. Keep in mind that she was using an ARP 2500 modular synth--no presets, takes an hour to set up and tweak a sound, etc; you can be sure that whatever she put down on tape is there for a reason.
accidentally opened this video again in another tab, at about 3 mins through...listening to both at the same time is creating really interesting harmonics
Congratulations,my dear friend, for these very happy iniciative! Posting one of the Radigue´s work --- without cuts,moreover! --- it`s a very likely job! You deserve all my greetings,sincerelly! Here,in Brazil,we support,yours efforts to divulgated,such wonders,like this treasure of the best french electronic music! So,please! Accept my thankings! And my fully admiration! Bravo!
some people can enjoy breathing exercises or ketamine and binaural tones such as these, some people drink coors light and listen to kiss. If you don't have any self reflective or existential thoughts, then let the record companies producing the top 40 do the thinking for you. Do you believe it is a coincidence that whatever new hit by Drake is yours AND 200 million other peoples 'favorite artist'?
i love the passage where it goes wuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuhwuh for a very long time. with a high pitched feedback narrative in morse code over it.
This is supposedly a sonic recreation of what John Cage was hearing inside the anechoic chamber at Harvard University in 1951. If that is correct, this means Elaine has just reproduced the "sound" of silence. This truly leaves you wondering: What is "silence"?
Silence would mean no audible noise. An annechoic chamber may still have background noise. 35 dB is about the threshold. For sound waves to not reach your ears there would have to be no air for the waves to travel through. An annechoic chamber absorbs sound waves and reduces echo. If you have an issue with your ears such as nerve damage you may hear sounds that are not physically present in the room but generated in your brain.
This is a bird's other account. I'm not arguing. While I understand that the Internet doesn't allow me to properly convey tone and demeanor, I was just trying to tell the guy of other ways to approach the song. I love peace and being the middleman, but sometimes compromise and quiet acceptance keeps us down and keeps us from seeing new things in different ways. For all we know, KazeReload listened again months ago and is now an abstract music buff! If you saw anger in my words, then I apologize.
Absolutely stunning music. I can only imagine how charged the atmosphere at her concerts must have been. If only they'd play this sort of thing on daytime radio and in bars, restaurants. The world would be a much better place: definitely without violence and exploitation.
I don't know if she had concerts prior to the 2000s. She likely had art shows where she would debut each album, kinda like when a band/artist plays their record for executives for the first time.
Another thing to consider is that Radigue's music, from what I've read, is connected with her Buddhist faith and meditation, so the long-and-slow approach, besides being very avant garde for the time, makes sense in that context too.
do it, and see what happens. if you can trust your work through that process with conviction, you call it art. it's too easy in a world where everything and everyone points you what to be, do, what art is etc, it's harder to stake out on your own.
One function of this organized sound, could be for some, to activate the un-tapped regions of the human brain. In other words, this type of sound stimulation can create in effect, a holographic cognitive experience. Frost
Do you enjoy abstract art? Anyone can paint two blue squares, or attack a canvas with a brush, but... they didn't. If you can do this, why don't you? Perhaps the only meaning here is in the creation, and us listeners are fooling ourselves. Perhaps you could look beyond the obvious. Why this noise? Is it really just noise? Why that tiny 'pip' every few seconds? Is it so bad to find your own meaning? Should an artist be forced to hold the audience's hand? I'd be less vague, but no char remain. :/
bit too long for my taste but it gave me a feeling of a nasty eerie boilerroom like in a Silent Hill game or something : ) i would've add something to it, like a deep heartbeat or fading in/out noises like something is gonna jump at you every moment : ) but then again, some people will think that it will mess up this piece. to each his own i guess.
Cleek Schrey i actually thought after Luigi's comment i was replying to another video from Delia Derbyshire. a bit of a blind eyed reply. sorry 'bout that : )
she wasn't very akin to live performances since she composed and played her pieces in a arp 2500 wich is really hard to move and operate, but nowadays she composes acoustic pieces and there are some live performances to that, search for "Occam Ocean"
but there is a doc about her here on youtube where she talks about some experiences that she had with live performances, sound design and other stuf, really interesting!!
Il y a tout un mythe qui s'est construit autour d'Eliane Radigue, c'est une pionnière d'accord, respect donc. Mais ses créations s'adressent à des initiés ou des personnes en quête de spiritualité, pour moi cela ne fonctionne pas, des superpositions de fréquences et de résonnances monotoniques n'arrivent pas à m'éblouir. Et je ne comprends pas comment elle est restée pendant des décennies bloquée sur cet arp 2500 alors qu'a coté de cela il y avait un univers bien plus passionnant à découvrir.
Just listen. No expectations, no impatience, close your eyes, let it in, remain calm. Good headphones or decent speakers in a silent environment help. If you still don´t get it, well, maybe this is not for you and that´s it.
I really can't get how someone could appreciate something like this.. It's just noise, 1 hour long noise. Any sense you would give to it is just given by you or your imagination, but where is the talent in it? I can mess around really slowly with any synth to make something like this.
I thought I had fucking tinnitus because the video played without my knowledge and I was unaware of the content. My ear hurts now. How can some people take this?
I have found this sort of music extremely conducive to states of meditation and concentration recently but it has also strangely increased my appreciation of the sound of my central heating boiler and my refrigerator!
Same, environmental noises are less abrasive to my ear now and their nuances are more intriguing
haha funny, I am not quite there yet...even though I have to shake my head, because this is what I put on to block out the sound of someone else vacuuming.
That's it. I always found the refigerator and dryer comforting!
☺️
@@jude999 dryers in particular have a lot of rythm
I can't help but imagine that this is the sound of the Earth spinning in space
Truly a giant on whose shoulders we stand upon, this music lifts all boats with pure, penetrating, fabulous drone.
it's always nice to throw on some eliane radigue as soothing background accompaniment when doing some gaming on low dose LSD or whathaveyou
i like the sound of this whathaveyou.
I wish in 2020 humanity would be more often like this, instead of having this illusion all the time that they have something special and very important to say to everyone all the time. Just shut up , and be still and calm. Please.

You have met both extremes.
You have reached a medium.
You are calm.
You can breathe now.
wow this is incredibly comforting after like 5 mins
I sometimes listen to this when working or studying, it`s helpfull....
You have plenty of "music for study" or "focus" on CZcams, made by anonymous "musicians"......

As someone with mild tinnitus, the high frequencies in this are wonderful in my ears... feels like scratching an itch aaaaaaahhhhhhhh....
+oblong I have mild tinnitus too. The whine in my left ear sounded just like a bad tinnitus day :(
i know that game
i have tinnitus, so when icant sleep i just imagine im listening to Eliane, lol
feels like beeing addressed like an idiot

nice, if u do pls post the result!
we can also, slow down or increase the speeds of the tabs, and take for an artist;)) Fascinating;))
That really works well! Very interesting modulations going on. I'd like to think that Eliane would approve. :-)
Addictive music ! Third listening
Been listening to it every day recently. She should be much better known and her CDs sold in every music store.
I bought some Eliane Radigue CDs in a music store in Paris "Le souffle continu"
MAGNIFICO GRAZIE .
I like to listen to this when I train at the gym

I'd like to hear this on big amps at a lake.
only way i could see this be pleasant now that you say this.... here in my shitty little flat it's profoundly unpleasant
It helps not to approach listening to Radique as "music" but as meditative resonances for spiritual journeys.
listening to this while moving your head up and down to a beat is crazy. or at least my tinnitus afflicted ass
My ears do this on their own
Magnifique plongée dans le son...

I'll have to come back to this. What's going on at 23:20? I have a feeling there are incredible bass tones that fall under the radar
To me it seems like a moped passed during the recording...
We could start a debate because you call this 'music' and not 'sound' or such. Haha :)
Lovely to be able to listen to this in high quality. Great.
beautifully put, is it ok if i use your comment as lyrics for a piece? i want to compose something around this
what is marvelous about a hour long beep? I'm thoroughly confused by these comments
