Ott seeks to offer strong sensations, without artifice, whether by the power of her compositions on the piano (‘Brumes’, ‘Horizons Fauves’), or by intuitive arrangements mixing her unique practice of Ondes Martenot with a maelstrom of Jupiter8, Monotrons, Timpani and Tubular Bells as on the first track. Like it’s centrepiece ‘Disaster’, the beloved cinematic text here is read by Casey Brown. The title track picks up the story where ‘Only Silence Remains’ left off. ‘Time To Die’ is a musical fresco in eight chapters, a sensory journey between the world of the living and the dead, for which the musician weaves a unique dramaturgy between contemporary classical and electro-acoustic music. French composer and multi-instrumentalist Christine Ott returns to Gizeh Records for her fourth album ‘Time To Die’, the sequel to the highly regarded ‘Only Silence Remains’ (2016).
