Éliane Radigue: The Electronic Works 17
Chry-ptus (1971)
With the discovery of the modular synthesizer, Éliane Radigue’s methods of composition changed. Moving away from asynchronous tape loops, her electronic works now barely contain perceptible transitions from one sound world to another – as in “Chry-ptus” (1971) and “Arthesis” (1973).
