"Harri and his team told me about the concept, and I just immediately fell in love with everything. And I was like, 'oh, this is so impressive. I can't even wrap my head around how it's going to be.' And that's always when I get like, super excited, when things are kind of hard to imagine. I was like, 'whoa, this sounds so cool.' And I immediately got on my computer and tried to figure out a longer version of 'The Code' and how can I, like, shape an intro and how can I tell the story of the last few months and just see that reflected in the performance. And I got together with a good friend of mine, Pablo Nouvelle, from Switzerland, who's an amazing producer, and we continuously worked on it. And yeah, now I performed it and it felt so amazing and it was so interesting to take things so much slower, you know, and really just close my eyes for the beginning and (I) kind of did a lot of reflection on the last few months and kind of saw them pass by. And then I opened and then I was like, wow, now I'm actually here."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Nemo, recording artist:
"So it was a challenge to kind of... there's a lot of weight. So you have to really balance it out because it can easily - like that's why we had people under it as well. They could balance the weight a little bit because sometimes I felt it pulling a little bit. But I mean, it's designed in such a way that I can use it. It's really impressively designed, if you think about it. Like that amount of weight, that amount of latex. I heard they ran out of latex halfway through because they (thought), we're never going to use that much. And then was like, 'oh wait, we're actually through.' Which is really, really funny. Yeah. It was it was such an amazing experience."

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Harri, designer:
"I have no idea how I got this idea. I was here (at the Royal Academy of Arts) a few weeks ago in the same location, I just thought of creating. The shape of the dress was already in my head because of the stage. And I wanted to create something that will just fill that space. I told my team that we're going to make the biggest dress possible. Five weeks later, what you see is what it is."

11. SOUNDBITE (English) Harri, designer:
"My first couple of shows was about the structure of creating these shapes with inflation. And then once I kind of convinced myself that I can do it, then my next challenge was to move with the inflated piece, move the structure, move the sculptures. I did that for two shows and then I realized, okay, I can now create the shape and move the shape. This one was more, you know, a notch higher, which is inflated live with the performance. So there's two layers to it, the structure, the live inflation and the performance together all combined. So, I hope it went well."
