Christine Ott is a French pianist. She became famous because of her collaborations with Yann Tiersen, Radiohead and Tindersticks. Christine Ott has specialized herself in the ”Ondes Martenot”. A special instrument fabricated by Marice Martenot in 1918. The music of Ott is just as mesmerizing as the intrument itself. It’s part Satie, but because of the omnious electronic sounds and part the omnious soundtrack.
“ The rise of classically trained artists who are developing their sounds with new technology and ideas is finally getting to a wider audience, and if your open to a bit of Classical Contemporary with an edge ‘Christine Ott’ should be on your list. “
