Eliane was my step-mother. She died last year from Alzheimers. In this piece I’d like to explore radio’s potential to evoke memory, disorientation and memory loss. Using her favorite songs on tape. And other memories. Sounds. Texts. Hers, mine. Ours.

Asking: In the end, is there anything to remember at all?

With the voices of François Cau, Isabelle Hainaud Griffiths, Eliane Ravanat, Gilbert Ravanat and Isabelle Stragliati.

ISABELLE STRAGLIATI is a sound artist, field recordist, radio producer, musician and dj living in Grenoble (France). Coming from the visual arts, she turned to the sound medium in 2002 through DJing, as an extension of her approach of the film editing (under the moniker Rescue). She then practiced numerous aspects of radio production (as radio host, producer, music programmer, technician and program director) before reconciling it with her creative work. Her productions, involving field recording, documentary, musique concrète or techno, have been broadcast on national and international radio networks, in festivals and events in Europe and in contemporary art centers.
