Join us for a presentation of French electronic-music pioneer Éliane Radigue‘s Adnos I-III. This epic composition invites deep reflection and a profound surrender of the self.

In Latin, ad means ‘towards’ and nos means ‘us’, more specifically the soul or spirit. Radigue completed the first part in 1974. It would take her almost a decade to complete the trilogy, which has become one of her most celebrated works. Each part deepened Radigue’s interests in sound that could reside equally within the mind and the body, and resolved many of her now trademark compositional, harmonic, and timbral approaches.

The complete trilogy will be presented in full, diffused by Lawrence English through a specially crafted multichannel/diffusion sound system. Radigue has instructed English on the methods used to present her work for the better part of six decades.

Mono is the IMA’s program of experimental sound curated by Lawrence English/Room40.
