Maryanne Amacher in 1953
The 20th of October we’ll do a full evening focusing on Eliane Radigue’s Naldjorlak (in collaboration with QO-2). Here an excerpt of an amazing Eliane Radigue portrait. The footage comes from the austrian TV and the images were shot for the purpose of the golden nica award ceremony held back in 2006 in Linz, which was given to éliane that year during Ars Electronica. On the basis on this material, a certain Anaïs Prosaïc did some editing and used about 15 minutes for a concert that Eliane did in Vienna a few weeks ago. Since 2001 she composed mostly for acoustical instruments, hence the concert.
