Cosmic Egg
Mathilde Conley, Olivia Newport (DJ FEMNMS) & Runa Roberts, with richi valitutto

Cosmic Egg, a sonic ritual by queer artists Mathilde Conley, Olivia Newport (DJ FEMNMS), and Runa Roberts, draws on religious, electronic, and experimental traditions to explore medieval devotion and contemporary queer intimacy. Inspired by Hildegard von Bingen’s erotic hymn to the Virgin Mary, they transform her 12th-century chant into drone soundscapes influenced by minimalism and ASMR. This fusion invites reflection on limitless potential and the enduring themes of longing, desire, and transformation across centuries of queer history.

Lanichinata was born on 21 August 2024, under the compassionate rays of the Sturgeon Blue Moon in Aquarius, a rare supermoon of exceptional size and brightness. Channeling the multivalent energies of time and place has always been a guiding principle in each of their meetings: focused improvised performances in light, sound, and movement that reflect and refract the queer creative forces connecting each of us.
