The partnership between Paloma and the SAMSAH of Nîmes, an organization dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities, particularly those with mental health conditions or autism spectrum disorder, led to an innovative musical project during the 2025-2026 season.
The project unfolded in several stages, including a visit to Paloma's premises, observation of a resident group, and discovery workshops. Participants were introduced to sound and light techniques in October, took part in a body percussion workshop with dancer Chely la Torrito in November, and explored music production with computer-aided music (MAO) with beatmaker KeraBeats in December.
Following these experiences, the users chose to focus on music creation. Seven sessions were dedicated to imagining and composing a song, addressing themes such as mental health, loneliness, and hope. This collective work provided an expressive space to share their emotions and feelings.
Once the track was mixed and mastered, the participants extended the experience at the studios of Radio Fuze in Uzès. There, they conducted an interview and had their creation broadcast on air.
