Occam Ocean, for orchestra, 2015
Length 52:06
Occam Ocean is an exceptional project, the fruit of a two-year collaboration between Eliane Radigue, an emblematic and historic figure in French contemporary creation, and the musicians of Onceim.
Occam is the generic title of a cycle of instrumental pieces initiated by Eliane Radigue in 2011, a cycle composing a work she says is “by nature unfinished because it cannot be finished”. Occam Ocean now initiates a new series of pieces dedicated for the first time to a large ensemble, Onceim.
The choice and exclusive use of continuous sounds, known as drones, place Eliane Radigue's aesthetic at the crossroads of minimalist, electronic and spectral currents. The spiritual dimension of her pieces gives her music a meditative character.
