yeah i mean for me our friends know that i grew up a huge acapella person so in terms of my like like uh musical upbringing because I did acapella like ever since like middle school going into high school I always wanted to do harmonies and I think you can really hear that in treading water because there are a lot of like kind of hidden like vocal layers some stuff that's really like you know vocal arrangement driven like yeah if you listen to the song through and through you'll find something new in a vocal layer every time And then at the end, like the outro that we have was really fun to put together.

On est à la fois au Mucem le vendredi pour une journée spéciale cette année, parce que c'est une journée qu'on a entièrement co-éditorialisée, donc co-programmée avec d'autres festivals en Méditerranée.
Justine PerezGUEST
Toujours avec ce souci de décentrer un petit peu le regard ou l'écoute.
Justine PerezGUEST
Ça aura lieu au Mucem le vendredi neuf octobre.
Justine PerezGUEST
Je, je dois dire que je ne connais rien de plus apaisant que le bruit de la mer parce qu'il porte tout à l'intérieur et il nous est commun à toute la Méditerranée aussi.
Justine PerezGUEST
Et donc c'est un imaginaire sonore dans lequel on a grandi et qui nous fait du bien.
Justine PerezGUEST
