Eliane Radigue

Where are you now?

I’m at home, in Paris.


Where would you be?

Where I am now.


What have you been doing lately?

I’m joining my friends by thinking about them and by answering those questions.


What are you hearing right now?

The unusual silence of the city.


Are you taking advantage of this containment period to make music?

I’m missing the musicians who kindly offer me their talent to bring my work to life.


How will the world be after all this?

May he remember the positive aspects of this strange situation, and maintain the spirit of mutual assistance, respect, generosity, and gratitude toward all those who save and preserve the essential stream of our lives, of Life itself.


How can we support the music community?

By growing the natural feeling of Being Together, that we experience more vividly than ever, beyond all the conflicts rooted in our societies frenzied individualism.


Five musical recommendations?

Ad libitum!...


One book?

Mmh! This is a bit special… Kindly Bent to Ease Us, Longchenpa-Guenther.


What will you do when you're out?

I will absorb myself in the blue intensity of the sky before it’s hidden behind greyness again.
