Eliane Radigue - Adnos I-III flac mp3 download

Drone simply as sustained tone? Not really, Radigue's music is much more than that. Exoterically, her drones are micro-events elegantly dancing due to subtle overtone shifts above a seemingly static tone, esoterically they are a means of meditation, prayer if you like, a circumambulation around a Sacred Center. How unfortunate it is for most drone artists that albums such as 'Adnos' exist, anything else compared to this is unavoidably doomed to impurity, mediocrity, thiswordliness, meaninglessness.

Absolutely the best drone work i have ever heard, and i've heard a lot of drones! Part II is the highpoint of minimalist classicism in my opinion- unsettling high and low pitches that oscillate wildely (!) begin the piece that leads to a clicking ostinato that shifts in and out of the stereo field, to a final, awesome coda where deeper drones resonate against one another, creating shifting and ephemeral patterns ( a favourite device of Madame Radigue) that finally convalesce into a stronger deep bass drone that slowly evaporates. Has to be heard, really; as a few words as this do not do it justice.The other two pieces are strong too. Part I is hallucinatory and aurally muffled, like hearing events in dense fog. And III is another aesthetic wonderwork, resembling her 'Trilogie de la morte'. Why did it take so long for these pieces to be released? Absolutely essential. Dig deep and get.
