LP – Limited Edition ‘Cloud’ Colour Vinyl.

The compositions of Colleen, aka multi-instrumentalist Ccile Schott, are as richly varied as they are precise. Each of Colleens albums are shaped by her predetermined distinct instrumentation and parameters, including works composed entirely of music boxes, pocket synthesisers, and antiquated stringed instruments. The connective essence of Schotts music is in her ability to create pieces within this transcendent specificity that are both expansive and imbued with profound emotions. Libres antes del final is an album that reaches for the hope and desire to be truly freed from unnecessary suffering and harmful thoughts before reaching the end of ones life cycle. Schott composed and performed Libres on the Moog Matriarch, centering the record on a pulse-driven, bubbling energy with constant momentum. She then reamped the music in one of her favourite spaces in Barcelona, Casa Montjuic, accentuating the albums sense of movement. The reamping process adds a literal physicality to the album, as carefully chosen and placed microphones (including the famous Neumann KU100 binaural head) capture both the venues PA sound itself and the venues acoustics. Colleens music translates snapshots of Schotts life into singular pieces, often instrumentally transmuting a dense web of sensations into wondrous sonic terrain.
