The 2019 Giga Hertz Grand Prize, endowed with 10,000 euros, goes to Éliane Radigue. Éliane Radigue's artistic work and career are characterised by a number of peculiarities that guarantee her a special position among the composers of electronic music. As one of the few women in the Studio d'Essai, she managed to work as a composer despite the adverse circumstances and later build an international career. The three-hour work »Trilogie de la Mort« composed between 1990 and 1998 became one of her most famous works. The jury was convinced by Éliane Radigue's consistent and continuous compositional achievement, which approaches the smallest degrees of change like a microscopy of time and sound.
