Chimères (pour Ondes Martenot)


Chimères is the third solo album of Christine Ott. Chimères is an unprecedented album, entirely conceived using only her Ondes Martenot. The album was produced by Paul Régimbeau and Frederic D Oberland, who arranged the tracks with the composer by manipulating the sounds of the ondes Martenot via live effect boxes and sonic manipulation. The album is opening with the piece Comma, which is regularly compared to Olivier Messiaen work, and the album is developing eight pieces from contemporary classical to electronic music and avant-garde music, also compared to Sergei Prokofiev and Daniel Lopatin.
