COLLEEN ET LES BOÎTES À MUSIQUE
COLLEEN ET LES BOÎTES À MUSIQUE
- Ref. XC592V
- THE LEAF LABEL, 2006.
"No stranger to the use of music boxes in her recordings and live performance, the consciously limited palette yields extraordinary dividends; this is arguably the most intimate and wonderfully melodic release of her career to date. Composed entirely using music boxes (but for one track), the pieces use everything from miniature boxes hidden in 1940s birthday cards to large Victorian boxes. Not content with the orthodox sounds produced by the boxes, Schott hijacked them, playing them with her fingers or with mallets on the comb. She re-sampled and affected pitch and delay in a quest to produce unique sounds and melodies. Utilising the natural loop in each box, the different boxes move in and out of time, evoking memories of childhood. This playful nature ebbs and flows throughout the EP like a stream unsure of its chosen path. Sounds reminiscent of harps ('What Is A Componium? Part 2'), xylophones and Fender Rhodes ('Your Heart Is So Loud'), and electronics ('Calypso In A Box') appear and then disappear on the landscape..." www.posteverything.com
