Éliane Radigue

Eliane Radigue (born 1932, died 2026) was a French electronic music composer whose work, since the early 1970s, had been almost exclusively created using a single synthesizer, the ARP 2500 modular system and tape. Raised in Paris by middle-class parents, she married the sculptor Yves Arman with whom she lived in Nice while raising their children. She had studied piano and was already composing before having heard a broadcast by the founder of musique concrete Pierre Schaeffer.
