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). ‘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.

TELERAMA « Chef-d’œuvre d’une experte en ondes et paysages sonores (...) entre Glass, Eno et Debussy. »
BANDCAMP « Christine Ott alternates ghostly piano compositions with lush & hovering synth-driven songs. »
HEMISPHERE SON « La multi-instrumentiste Christine Ott fait partie de ces artistes qui contribuent à opérer la jonction entre le monde de la pop et le celui des musiques savantes et à faire tomber les murs, par ses différentes collaborations comme par l’esthétique qu’elle développe dans ses œuvres. »
BACKSEAT MAFIA « A modern compositional masterclass »
RADIO FRANCE, Coup de Coeur Radio France

D-MUTE « Christine Ott exprime avec les huit morceaux de Time to Die une force de passion et de sentiments saisissants, touchant l’auditeur de façon viscérale, primitive. (...) Il est peut-être temps de 'mourir', d’annihiler complètement ce que nous pensons être, pour se reconstruire, se redéfinir. »
FREDO VIOLA « Stunning, terrifying, magnetic, delicate, painful and uncanny... It’s like discovering a bizarre object hanging very low in the sky, something beautiful but unfathomable, just out of reach. The way I see the album is as a series of quite cinematic meditations on the theme of death and dying, changing prismatically, up to that incredibly delicate and beautiful conclusion. »
INTERVIEW OF CHRISTINE OTT, SOM « Rather than an evocation of death as we could imagine, the album 'Time To Die' is to me more a reflection and a questioning about humanity, and a story of humility in front of the mysteries of death. »
