"The Monotone-Silence Symphony", by Éliane Radigue

E.R. - (1954) And that year, Yves returned with a passion for glossolalia. He had discovered glossolalia, the famous universal language spoken by the apostles when they received the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. It is said that when they received the Holy Spirit, they began to speak, as if drunk, an inarticulate language through which they understood each other perfectly.
