Eaux mêlées (2021) 40’

Commande du Logelloù, centre d’exploration et de création à Penvénan situé dans les Côtes-d'Armor. Création en septembre 2021 sur le site remarquable du Yaudet au bord de l’estuaire du Léguer. 

 Un voyage acousmatique imprégné de l’odeur de l’estuaire et de ses eaux mêlées, celle de la vase, de la matière primordiale.
L’union intime de la terre et de la mer caractérise l’ambiance des côtes d’Armor. Il est impossible de distinguer avec netteté́ la limite entre la terre et la mer, entre les éléments solides et fluides. Les rochers, la mer, la rivière, l’estran, les herbues... s’articulent entre eux, la mer entre dans les terres par les estuaires. 
Avec des sons de Noëlle Deffontaines, Benjamin Dousteyssier (saxophone), Christine Groult, Marc Namblard, Lê Quan Ninh (grosse caisse), Ana Speyart.

zakè & Tyresta - Reason To Believe

https://christineott.bandcamp.com/album/eclats-piano-works

Two years after Time to Die, French composer Christine Ott returns to Gizeh Records with her fifth album, Éclats (Piano Works), a collection of twelve pieces for solo piano, twelve impressionistic miniatures, instrumental and cinematic fractals celebrating the beauty of life.

Éclats (Piano Works) is a kind of mirror image to Chimères (for Ondes Martenot) (2020, Nahal Recordings), which showcased her other favourite instrument, and for which Christine Ott is particularly renowned - as she is through her past collaborations with Yann Tiersen, Tindersticks, and this year with Chilly Gonzales. But here, there's no vintage electronics: the musician unfurls acoustic landscapes in black and white, alone at the piano, behind a Steinway, a Fazioli or her father's old Prestel. The album opens with Pluie d'arbres, a powerful yet delicate allegory of deforestation. This duality runs through the album, whose energy is sometimes melancholy, sometimes hopeful, but always generous and full of empathy.

Sometimes nourished by revealing improvised gestures and crystallised during live performances, these new pieces by Christine Ott also make the link with various projects by the artist, both on stage and in film. Die Jagd nach dem Glück (The Pursuit of Happiness) is an extract from her original composition for Lotte, mon amour, a film-concert created in 2014 based on 4 short films by Lotte Reiniger, a German director from the first half of the 20th century. Lotte Reiniger was a true pioneer of animated film, and her films are still incredibly modern and human. Originally composed for piano, Martenot ondes and viola, this highly romantic piece is presented here in its simplest orchestration. Éruption Volcanique also foreshadows another film-concert work by Christine Ott, to come in 2024, for Robert Flaherty's Man of Aran. Set on a storm-swept island off the coast of Ireland, the film depicts the daily life of a fishing family in the 1930s. In a film-concert with an ambitious, physical and immersive score, the musician pays tribute to the courage of these inhabitants, united by a strong sense of solidarity, in constant battle with the elements.

Éclats (Piano Works) presents works recorded over a long period of time; a clear homage to Hitchcock, the writing of Vertigo undoubtedly has its origins in the composer's youth. Some pieces, such as Étreintes and Amours étoilés, were recorded during the sessions for Only Silence Remains (2016), and Christine Ott has regularly performed Golden Valley on stage since its creation in 2018 - whether as solo piano or rearranged in groups as part of her parallel projects (Snowdrops, Theodore Wild Ride...). Other compositions, such as Clouds of Dreams, are much more recent. So it's a real gift to finally discover on record the variety and richness of these twelve original compositions, which have long remained in the shadows.

And to bring these melodic bursts to life, Christine Ott called on the services of visual artist Léa Barbazanges, who creates sculptures and installations using assemblages of plant, mineral and animal materials. The works that adorn the album cover come from her Optiques series; 12 photographs of crystals seen through a lens, like a poetic prism that brings us closer to living things, their textures and ramifications, as obvious as they are complex, and that give a formidable visual echo to the 12 compositions on the album.

I would like to start this year with this album.

I have been making music alone for almost 20 years now. I would like to thank everyone who has ever purchased or listened to my music, my subscribers, my collaborators, everyone who has criticized as well as praised me, the equipment and electricity I have used to make music, my room, my time, my friends, my family, everything. Thank you so much.

As a token of my appreciation, I would like to release this album for free. Please enjoy it.

I have only one request. For once, for about 40 minutes listening to this album, please do nothing and think about nothing and just be in a daze. We are too busy. We need time to intentionally give our heads and hearts a rest. Once you get into that habit, you will inevitably feel yourself becoming energized again.

I wish you all a very happy new year.
