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. 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 one’s life cycle.

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.
