Interview with Eliane Radigue & Keith Fullerton Whitman Eliane Radigue & Keith Fullerton Whitman interviewed by WNYU's Jonathan Gean on September 27th, 2010, during the

"I told you... you ask me a question and after that you have to take a Kalashnikov to stop me!" I think about Eliane & her work often; beyond bedrock for me, but it was hearing her describe her music in the most animated, matter-of-fact way that sticks out; R.I.P.

I met Éliane in person just the once.

I was working on something at GRM. I looked up from my own dabblings and through the window to the next studio to see her sat there... tweaking *that* filter on *that* synthesizer... 🤯

What a radiant being. Big life. Untouchable legacy.
My deepest condolences to all those close to her.

Worth repeating: Claims of "AI" democratizing anything (coding, creative endeavors, etc) are always BS. The thing locking out people from doing that is not having the time/resources.

You want to democratize coding/art/creativity? Give people paid time off to do it and access to infrastructure. Easy

Music for Intersecting Planes, by Leila Bordreuil + Kali Malone 4 track album

I'm pretty sure these two first met when Leila played the Third @edition-festival.com back in 2018 (a duo with Zach Rowden) and Kali was doing sound. How time flies. This sounds great. kalimalone.bandcamp.com/album/music-...
