L'Ile ré-sonante

🏆 Golden Nica · Prix Ars Electronica 2006
shiiin and Éliane Radigue's “L'Ile ré-sonante” was honoured with the Golden Nica at the Prix Ars Electronica 2006, category Digital Musics & Sound Art.
When minimalist music based on sustained notes is properly conceived and genuinely inspired, one of its features is that it can plunge the listener into another state of being, into a kind of reverie in which, paradoxically, he or she hears more acutely and perceives the slightest and subtlest nuance.
