Social networks
“I’m not glued to my smartphone; I’ve turned off all the notifications. But I do use social networks, especially when I’m travelling. I still haven’t decided if I like Instagram or Facebook best. I started using TikTok recently, but I’m just exploring it for the moment.”
Last text message
“A little message for a friend who’s celebrating her birthday. Her boyfriend planned a surprise weekend for her, and I just found out they’re going to Florence!”

Music
“I compose music that’s a bit wild, but I love listening to things that are much calmer, like Under the sun, by Mark Pritchard. I of course use apps like Shazam (the last track I Shazamed was Keel by Bnjmn), or Bandcamp, which I use to put out and buy music.”

“The latest episode from my series Sisterhood Collection with Yaeji. There are many more women DJ’ing now, but still very few female producers in electronic music. With this series of videos and playlists, I want to promote music composed by women.”
