« Between my hands a banal object, usual, a road to scan with the ear. Tourist of my day-to-day life, little movements make me hear the places of a new sonic geography » – Magali Babin
« …Exploring the microcosm of metallic objects that she makes vibrating, Magali creates in a same gesture a music as much minimalist as geant. » – Productions SuperMusique
