ELSE is a musical project composed and directed by Jean Galmiche in collaboration with author/actress Julie Cardile and violinist Hugo Van Rechem.
This electroacoustic piece for acousmatic diffusion and mixed stage performance is a tribute to the Danish composer and pioneer of electronic music, Else Marie Pade (1924-1950).
Her early sound discoveries are said to have been inspired by the rumor of the outside world, perceived through the partitions of her bedroom. Ailing and bedridden for months on end, Else became fascinated by these re-tuned "timbres of reality" and developed a boundless imagination of new sounds.
Apioneer in the use of the synthesizer, a pupil of Schaeffer and Stockhausen, an early feminist resistance fighter specializing in explosives - everything in the life and work of this great Danish composer was a source of inspiration and admiration for Jean Galmiche, who first discovered Else Marie Pade's work during his studies in acousmatics at the Paris Conservatoire, in the class of D. Dufour. Since then, the figure of Else has accompanied him along his career as a composer, and it's only natural that he should wish to pay tribute to her today!
