Rhodri Davies

The flowing sounds of waterways – often seen as in-between worlds – form the inspiration for the ethereal music of Éliane Radigue. ‘Radigue is all about perpetual transition,’ writes Kate Molleson about Éliane Radigue, the French sound pioneer who was searching for ‘the sound within sound’: ‘She is a master of transience, queen of the in-between.’ Radigue found the ‘in-between’ for a large part of her work in water – oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, waterfalls – anything that connects the constant movement of water with meditative contemplation. In the late 2000s Radigue started her series 'Occam', a constantly evolving body of works in which each piece has been created together with a performer or group of performers. Two of her collaborators, the harpist Rhodri Davies and the Quatuor Bozzini string quartet, bring the works they created with Radigue in her Parisian apartment to the Queen Elizabeth Hall, inviting audiences to be immersed in the flowing sounds of Radigue’s water-inspired compositions.
