The Batterie fragile is a sculpture conceived by artist Yves Chaudouët. A drum-kit made out of porcelain. To create this new album, Magaletti says, “I applied wood and metal and rubber to the porcelain. My starting point is always textural, and I’m very interested and enchanted by friction.” An important work in the career of one of the best drummers and composers of her time.
