In Eliane Radigue's work, one distinguishes or contrasts the electronic works (composed until the early 2000s) with those written for acoustic instruments. From 2002 onwards, the artist began a series of compositions, the Occams, in which, in her own words, she fully realised what she had always sought to achieve in her electronic works.
The disc devoted to her here brings together two pieces written at the same time; one for an instrumental ensemble (Dedalus) and the other for analogue synthesizer (Ryoko Akama). If the means seem to be opposed, this concordance of time lets us glimpse the deep unity that brings them together.

Jean Yves Evrard : Guitar
Christine Modraska : Piano
Two personalities. Two different instruments. Christine Wodrascka, pianist and improviser, and Jean Yves Evrard, guitarist and improviser, have produced a uniquemusical matter both homogeneous and complex at the same time and showcasing a form of freedomhidden between the musical notes. The two musicians, free from the typical conventions in both their content and the shape of their work, become receptors and then transmitters of the vibrations surrounding every space. In unison, their instruments are the extension of this musical mass, free and lush.
Joëlle Léandre : Double Bass and voice. Alexandra Grimal : Saxophone and voice.
Two instruments linked, calling to each other, leaping around, recalling and fooling around with the music of Joelle Leandre, improviser, composer and double bass player, and Alexandra Grimal, composer, singer and saxophone player. With chaos, a joyful mess of unique moments, bright, plural and playful, the two musicians have no care for determinism : The music just is, and they simply follow it.
