So that's why something that happened kind of magically, I feel that I'm always speaking with the dead. And as I was coming to Paris, my favorite composer, Eliane Radigue who's, like one of those women that I really, you know, honor I was actually going to meet her through other friends, and she died while I was here, like, two weeks ago. So that's why that piece over there, I kind of wanted to dedicate it to her. That's why it's called From the Gravity Series for Eliane Radigue, Paris 2026.
And the rocks the other incredible thing was that where I was staying, across Montparnasse Cemetery and then the studio where we were working at, was one block away where Eliane Radigue lived. So many times, I passed through her house. I put candles for her there. And I I took some rocks from around the area, so that's why those rocks are from there. So, you know, it's all, like, very it's about being open to chance in your life and connecting through sound, these gestures of yeah, connecting kind of lineages of some sort.
This installation has contact mics, which amplify textures, and they're very important for my performances. But they're also part of you know, an installation gesture.
