Colleen

Colleen is a one-person project run by Parisienne Cécile Schott. Her first album, Everyone Alive Wants Answers, consisted entirely of samples from the artist's own collection. With subsequent releases she decided to use more of an acoustic sound: The Golden Morning Breaks presents melodies combining cello, classical guitar, music boxes and windchimes all played by the artist herself, while Les Ondes Silencieuses is a tribute to Baroque instruments (spinet, viola da gamba). Releasing on the Leaf Label, the artist prefers to use the term minimal acoustic and tries to avoid associations with the electronic music scene. Colleen's live performances are a unique possibility to hear the sound of unusual musical instruments used on her albums; they consist of almost purely acoustic, very personal sounds.
