She frequently utilizes both acoustic instruments and electronic processing in her performances.

The Abbatiale Saint-Maixent, also known as the Basilica of Saint-Maxentius, is a former Benedictine abbey church with origins dating back to the 7th century. Founded by Saint Maxentius of Poitiers, it underwent significant reconstruction during the Romanesque period (11th-12th centuries), evidenced by its substantial stone architecture. Further modifications occurred throughout the medieval era, including Gothic additions in the 15th century. The abbey played a vital role in the region’s religious and cultural life for centuries, housing a renowned scriptorium during its active monastic period.
