Search - Eliane Radigue :: Transamorem: Transmortem

Transamorem - Transmortem was premiered on March 9, 1974 at The Kitchen in
NYC, where the music programmer at the time was Rhys Chatham. During this
period, Transamorem - Transmortem was presented along with other compositions by
Eliane Radigue in a linear mode of listening, although the piece had originally been
conceived, during its composition, as a sound installation. Of course, both modes of
listening are possible, and each works marvelously in its own way. In their original
form, Radigue s works are magnetic tapes. After being played a few times in public,
the tape disappears to its case until a release proposal makes it available again
through a disc.
