In the Round: Colleen + Kate NV

An in-the-round double header with French multi-instrumentalist Cécile Schott AKA Colleen and Russian experimental electronic artist, Kate NV.

The compositions of Colleen, aka multi-instrumentalist Cécile Schott, areas richly varied as they are precise. Each of Colleen’s albums is shaped by her predetermined distinct instrumentation and parameters, including works composed entirely of music boxes, pocket synthesizers, and baroque stringed instruments. The connective essence of Schott’s music is in her ability to create pieces within specificity that are both transcendently expansive and imbued with profound emotions. She now dedicates herself to her own unique brand of warm analog synthesis, her new album focusing on the Moog Matriarch.

Kate NV is the multifaceted solo persona of the artist Kate Shilonosova. A changeling that follows afflatus in all its forms, NV is a student of architecture, illustrates curious, colorful characters, and improvises live with bells and water glasses amidst compact synthesizers and cables.
