L'Intégrale #2: Meredith Monk - On Behalf Of Nature

This listening session at the Bibliothèque Buffon auditorium presents Meredith Monk's 2016 album 'On Behalf Of Nature' in its entirety, preceded by a short introduction. The work is a meditation on ecology and climate change, exploring the intimate connection between humans and the natural world through Monk's signature vocal techniques and instrumental landscapes.

Monk, a composer and vocalist active for six decades, creates what she calls "primordial discourse"—non-verbal sounds that express what lies beyond language. The album blends voices and instruments into layered, transparent soundscapes, sometimes separate, sometimes fused into mysterious new textures. This event is part of the 'L'Automne de la science' series and 'Biblis en folie 2026' in Paris libraries.
