TITLE:

Through Time and Space: 脡liane Radigue鈥檚 Relationship to Sound听

听

ABSTRACT:

Composer 脡liane Radigue is the only French composer of her generation who is regularly cited as a pioneer of synthesizer-based electronic music. Over the six decades of her career, Radigue has been dedicated to building a body of work in which natural microbeats between frequencies replace rhythmic, or other more traditional forms of, sound organization. A significant component of my dissertation consists in documenting the electronic phase of Radigue鈥檚 career as well as her more recent collaborations with instrumentalists. However, in this presentation I show how, in my research, the record of Radigue鈥檚 life as a composer is part of a larger argument that reconsiders canonical events in the history of contemporary music through Radigue鈥檚 perspective. Analyzing the history of contemporary music through the frame offered by Radigue鈥檚 six-decade-long career offers many advantages. First, it is an opportunity to highlight the very different meanings that the notion of 鈥渃omposer鈥� has taken on since the post-World War II era and, most importantly, it calls for an analysis of these conceptual shifts in terms of the gender conventions of the time. Second, I argue that Radigue鈥檚 sound, and particularly the listening mode embedded within her compositional method, continues to open a space that enables different artistic approaches.听听
