Program 865: In Memoriam: Éliane Radigue
KALW Broadcast Date: March 15, 2026 | Host: Joseph Bohigian
On this Music from Other Minds, we celebrate the work of French composer Éliane Radigue, who died on February 23, 2026, at the age of 94 in Paris, France. We’ll start with an archival interview from 1980, in which Charles Amirkhanian interviews Radigue on KPFA about her work and musical background and Radigue performs her music live in studio. Then, we’ll hear Laetitia Sonami, a former student, performing Radigue’s Occam IX on her Spring Spyre interface/instrument. We’ll close the program with Mariel Roberts Musa’s sunder, performed by pianist Conor Hanick on her recent New Focus Recordings release.
