Soap Stone Stove (2020) is a poem written and performed by Flurina Casty. Suitable to the format of Lumpen Station, Flurina asked her friend and performance artist Zoë Binetti to accompany her with the eerie and instrumental sounds from Zoë’s improvisational repertoire. The live session of the two artists performing simultaneously was recorded on the 4th of August in Zoë’s Studio in Bern. Milena Krstic, sound artist, lyricist and composer, was asked to complete the team, as her technical skills would guarantee a great recording session. Her final mastering promised to give the work the crisp sound quality it deserves to guarantee a great auditive experience for the listener.
