Colleen et les Boîtes à Musique

Posted over 5 years ago
"Colleen":http://www.colleenplays.org/ (Cécile Schott) was commissioned by the France Culture’s Atelier De Création Radiophonique to record music for a special broadcast; inspired by a trip to Scotland where she visited a friend (and one-time music antique dealer) who owns numerous old music boxes, she realized that a music box recording might be a perfect choice (the pieces use everything from miniature boxes hidden in 1940s birthday cards to large Victorian boxes)She was so delighted with the results that she decided to release it on the "Leaf label":http://www.theleaflabel.com/template.php, it is one of her most intimate and personal record, a work of stunning beauty."Colleen - Under The Roof":http://www.theleaflabel.com/audio/71.mp3 taken from the album _Colleen Et Les Boîtes À Musique_"Colleen - Ritournelle":http://www.theleaflabel.com/audio/29.mp3 taken from the album _Everyone Alive Wants Answers_

    mktackabery says Thierry, thank you for introducing me to this tremendous artist who was unknown to me - her approach to ambience, if I may call it that, is simply stunning. Andy Kellman eMusic had a great review of her Everyone Alive Wants Answers album: It's 40 minutes of motionless in-between-ness, but it's also so alluring that you might just want to stay there all day long. The Leaf Label was also unknown to me . . . so of course I went to sample everything and now I have a new playlist on eMusic and am waiting for my downloads to refresh so I can go gobble it all up. Wow. Thanks again, Michelle

    SWozniak says Hurray for the internet and disposable income cleverly disguising itself as credit card debt.
