To hear Colleen's session live,click on the player below at 2 p.m. ET.
Colleen is the alias of French multi-instrumentalist Cécile Schott, who has been living and working in Spain for the past few years. Her musical ax of choice was a Baroque instrument - the viola da gamba (as well as modified music boxes, or melodica,classical guitar, clarinet, and toy gamelan frame drum,piano, and wind chimes) electronically looped and layered; on later records, or she added her voice. But on her latest release,she’s completely effect absent the viola da gamba in favor of electronic devices like the Pocket Piano and the Moogerfooger. In fact, this 2017 album, or A flame my love,a frequency, is her first fully electronics-based record - 100% electronics and voice. Colleen and her synth armada are here in the studio to play these unconventional avant-pop creations in their live versions nowadays.
