Christine Ott is a French composer, pianist, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and "ondist", specialist in ondes Martenot.[1]
She was a member of Yann Tiersen band for eight years, and also played for classical orchestras for ten years. She is a recognized classical composer. From movie soundtracks to opera, through improvisation, contemporary music, theatre plays, dance or rock music, her musical path is always guided with a ‘no-limit’ spirit and the will to share her passion for new sounds, but especially with her old musical instrument which plays enigmatic and captivating waves: the Ondes Martenot.
She has released two solo albums : Solitude Nomade in 2009 & Only Silence Remains in 2016.
