Christine Ott is a french composer, pianist, multi-instrumentist and 'ondist', one of the few Ondes Martenot masters in the world.
"When, in 1928, Maurice Martenot creates for the first time the 'Ondes' that are to make him famous, he does not suspect that 80 years later, a small red-haired smuggler will strive to cross borders to his invention, ancestor of synthesizer. (Les Inrockuptibles, fr).
Ott has published three albums: Solitude Nomade in 2009, Only Silence Remains in 2016, and an original soundtrack imagined on Murnau's Tabu in 2017. She wrote the original music for the feature film 'The End of Silence' (dir. Roland Edzard) in 2011 as well as several original scores for silent films (Nanook of The North, Lotte Reiniger's movies). She also collaborated with Yann Tiersen (on Amélie Poulain and
Tabarly), Tindersticks (on 35 Shots of Rums and Bastards by Claire Denis), Oiseaux-Tempête (for Lea Fehrer's The Ogres), Syd Matters and Radiohead. In 2016, Tindersticks, Thomas Belhom and Christine Ott performed the music for Stuart A. Staples' Minute Bodies: The Intimate World of F. Percy Smith, whose O.S. and DVD were published under the City Slang / BFI label.
