RADIGUE - Occam XXV (45')
Éliane Radigue’s ‘Occam XXV’ – written for, and performed here by, the French organist Frédéric Blondy – envelops its listener in a rich and slowly evolving ocean of sound. Beginning with a low, timbral rumble, the music grows over its 45 minutes, always imperceptibly changing, to a richly layered, shimmering and luxuriant texture which then, as the piece draws to a close, dissolves into air.
This is music as sensation: sound to be immersed in – expansive and vibrational. As Radigue herself said, "I imagine how we are all bathing in a galactic ocean of sound waves”.
