Colleen is French multi-instrumentalist Cecile Schott, who uses her voice and the treble viola da gamba to weave intricate stories about the human mind and heart. She first discovered the viola da gamba at 15 years old in the film Tous les matins du monde, where its sound resonated deeply with her. Inspired by African music from different countries, genres, and eras, Schott tunes the instrument like a guitar and plucks it instead of bowing it traditionally. This unique approach opens up a new world of sound that she explores in great depth on Captain of None, an addictive and unconventional pop album.

Thrill Jockey is an American independent record label that was established in 1992 by Bettina Richards, a former A&R representative at Atlantic Records. Originally based in New York City, the label relocated to Chicago, Illinois in 1995.
With over two decades of experience, Thrill Jockey has become a prominent force in the music industry. Known for its diverse roster of artists and commitment to artistic integrity, the label has consistently released groundbreaking and innovative music across various genres.
Thrill Jockey's catalog includes a wide range of critically acclaimed albums from both established and emerging artists. From experimental rock to electronic music, jazz to folk, the label continues to push boundaries and support unique voices within the industry.

Colleen’s mastery of the art of sound sculpting is fully displayed on Le Jour et la Nuit du Réel, a beautiful 21 song double album that manages to explore the intersections of the material and the imagined, a sonic odyssey unearthing soul from synthesis. The album is organized into several movements. Each movement employs different synthesis settings, but with distinctive chords and motifs that provide a thorough line, guiding the listener through gorgeous sonic landscapes.

Le jour et la Nuit du Réel‘s astounding breadth of texture and emotion were sculpted from a surprisingly minimal setup even for Schott – an all-analog combination of one monophonic semi-modular synth, the Moog Grandmother, and two delays, the Roland RE-201 Space Echo and her trusted Moogerfooger Analog Delay. A kaleidoscopic range of sounds speckles the album’s seven suites which mimic the range and nuance of emotions, both deeply personal and communal, parsed into two distinct halves that represent day and night and the contrasting feelings each encompasses. One of contemporary music's most consistently exciting voices, French composer Cécile Schott aka Colleen’s new album Le Jour et la Nuit du Réel, is a gorgeous wellspring of sonic delights. It is a double album filled with gorgeous details that reward listeners with constant revelations and sonic delights.
