Just when I was digging out the draft, rootstrata thankfully beat me to the post with a 14+ minute version of the Eliane Radigue minidoc I had a 3 minute trailer of.

Eliane Radigue has composed electronic music since the sixties. She is the only French woman composer of her generation who can be considered to be a pioneer of this genre, and of minimal music as well.

Her music is a slow flux of dense sounds subject to imperceptible mutations. A timeless architecture of deep vibrations speaking not to the intellect or to hearing, but to the entire body. A music which is unsettling if one submerges oneself in it. A music that possesses the monumental subtlety of the movement of oceans. —IMA

Like the work of Eliane Radigue, the efforts of rootstrata and their blog are well worth deeper investigation.
