About Me |
|
| Colleen is a French musician working within a minimalist and melodic aesthetic using acoustic instruments and modern technologies . She has released three albums on The Leaf Label, " Everyone alive wants answers" (2003), "The golden morning breaks" (2005) and "Les ondes silencieuses" (may 2007). She has also released a live recording in cult series "Mort aux Vaches" on Staalplaat in 2006 and an EP made entirely with music boxes, "Colleen et les boîtes à musique" (the result of a commission by national French radio station France Culture), in october 2006.In 2007 she also completed her first dance score for Franco-Swiss choreographer and dancer Perrine Valli's "Série.While her first album was made up entirely of acoustic samples taken from an eclectic record collection, her second album saw her explore a music full of magical details - instrumentals filled with warmth, melody and soul, phasing in and out, on the verge of collapse – with Colleen playing all the instruments herself (cello, classical guitar, ukulele, music boxes, windchimes, and a rare 19th century glass harmonicon).But her last album, "Les ondes silencieuses", is a kind of highly personal tribute to the sounds of bygone instruments and their resonance : the deep sounds of the viola da gamba – the 7-string ancestor of the cello – are left to shine out on their own, while other tracks explore the spinet (a small harpsichord), clarinet, classical guitar and crystal glasses.Colleen’s live shows, with their wide array of acoustic instruments, reflects her deep love of acoustic sounds, and the occasional use of looping and delay pedals brings her live music closer to the layered feel of her albums. For the past five years, she has been playing live all over Europe, the US and Japan, giving more than 130 shows in often prestigious or original venues and in world-reknowned festivals.You can find a lot more information (photos, visuals, gigography, interviews, favourite music ) and listen to the two albums on Colleen's website .DISCOGRAPHY :"Babies" Active Suspension, 7, as14 (2002) "Everyone Alive Wants Answers", LP (cd and vinyl), The Leaf Label (2003) "The Golden Morning Breaks", LP (cd and vinyl), The Leaf Label (2005) "Mort Aux Vaches", LP (cd only), Staalplaat (2006) "Colleen Et Les Boîtes À Musique", EP (cd only), The Leaf Label (2006) "Les ondes silencieuses", LP (cd and vinyl), The Leaf Label (2007) The Leaf Label | |
