Adnos

When Eliane Radigue departed this realm in February 2026, at age 94, she left behind a singular, inimitable body of work. Her focus on slowly changing, highly detailed drone music yielded numerous monoliths among which Adnos stands tall. 
 

Composed and recorded on tape between 1973-1982 using an Arp 2500 modular synthesizer, these astonishing pieces exemplify Radigue's quote about how slow changes, vibrations deep within her sounds, ultimately shape the textures of her sonic work: 

"If a stone in the river moves, the river is not changed, but after a long time it becomes something completely different."

This 2026 repress preserves the 2013 package design; a thorough collaboration between Eliane Radigue and John Brien of Important Records. A 24 page booklet of Adnos era archival material accompanies the three compact discs in a heavy duty quad-fold, 8 panel cardboard jacket printed inside and out.
