Colleen’s mastery of the art of sound sculpting is fully displayed on ‘Le jour et la nuit du réel’, a beautiful 21-song double album that manages to explore the intersections of the material and the imagined, a sonic odyssey unearthing soul from synthesis.

The album is organized into several movements. Each movement employs different synthesis settings, but with distinctive chords and motifs that provide a thorough line, guiding the listener through gorgeous sonic landscapes. Schott elaborates: “To me, the capacity of synthesis to alter – subtly or radically – the physical embodiment in the sound of the same series of notes is akin to how, when given new information about a person or a situation, we can reevaluate our initial perception of what we thought was the ‘reality’ of that person or situation, sometimes drastically so.”

Vinyl format includes digital download code.

Available to independent retailers on Clear with Gold Fleck coloured vinyl 2LP in gatefold sleeve with digital download.

Colleen will be touring North America starting in New York in September, as well as Europe throughout the autumn.

In 2017, Schott began her fruitful collaboration with Moog Music Inc, which included a documentary on her use of Moog in ‘The Tunnel and the Clearing’ and being invited to test new plugins from Moog.
