Philippe Soupault
Auster was sixteen when she recorded her first record. The album was a collaboration between her and Brooklyn-based musicians Michael Hearst and Joshua Camp of the musical duo One Ring Zero. Using her writer father, Paul Auster's, early translations of French Surrealist poets, along with two original lyrics written by Auster herself, the poetic lines of Tristan Tzara, Paul Eluard, Robert Desnos, Philippe Soupault and Guillaume Apollinaire became songs set to music by Hearst and Camp.
