Composer

BIOGRAPHIE

Musician, composer, musical arranger France Christine Ott is a multi-talented artist. Composer, pianist and multi-instrumentalist combining sensitivity, virtuosity and delicacy, Christine Ott is also known for being a virtuoso of the Martenot waves, one of the first electronic instruments. She performs in festivals and famous operas, interpreting the major works of the repertoire (Messiaen, Honegger, Varèse ...), and she also tours with Yann Tiersen, or alongside Radiohead, Syd Matters, Cascadeur or Oiseaux-Tempête. She has already released three remarkable solo albums which are part of an aesthetic between contemporary classical and electronic music. Her music, powerful and intense, always has a unique cinematic dimension. It is not surprising that she has performed in film concerts and composed film music. Stuart Staples of the Tindersticks brought her in to collaborate on the films of Claire Denis and also in 2016 on the creation of Minute Bodies. She scored the film La fin du silence by Roland Edzard, selected for the Directors' Fortnight in Cannes in 2011, and recently with her side project Snowdrops was the fusion soundtrack for the first film by Phuttiphong Aroonpheng Manta Ray, which won an award in 2018 at the Venice Film Festival (Best Film, Horizons Section).
