EPISODE 18: Eliane Radigue 01.24.1932 - 02.23.2026

Oh! This is exactly
what I’ve be looking for
all my life.

I don’t known if this is music. I don’t
know what it is.
There so many layers
of going deep
into the material.

A way to live:

Escape capture.

Apply pure spontaneous investigative logic to the material at hand.

Restraint.

A radical openness to
be in dialogue with the thing you observe.

A feedback piece

A piece for wolf tones

A piece with words

It’s so punk sounding. So raw, so organic. I can’t think of anything
French that sounds like that. I don’t know what
it is. It’s so much
about the material of the real.

A store outing:

The space whistles. It felt daunting.

Then it’s the most natural thing
in the world—
We can not bridge it, because
it is inside.
It’s undeniable.

A person who makes the one song
their entire life. From birth
to death they’ve
been doing that, the needle
that plays the universes song.

If they want
to come for us, they can
but we’re making this
anyways. To have
that as radical praxis. There’s obviously
something at work there.

It’s a resonating machine.
A flat affect transmission.

It’s got all the ingredients.

I should do this
every goddamn Sunday.
