Chimères is an unprecedented album, entirely conceived using only her Ondes Martenot.^[1] The album was produced by Paul Régimbeau (Mondkopf) and Frederic D Oberland (), who arranged the tracks with the composer by manipulating the sounds of the ondes Martenot via live effect boxes and sonic manipulation.^[2] The album is opening with the piece Comma, which is regularly compared to Olivier Messiaen work,^[3] and the album is developing eight pieces from contemporary classical to electronic music and avant-garde music, also compared to Sergei Prokofiev and Daniel Lopatin.^[4]
