Mood Music: Ondes Martenot

Christine Ott is a master of this instrument, and she has an impressive new album coming out May 22 on Nahal Recordings. Chimères is promoted as a cosmic journey, and where you go is up to you but go far you will, as the little green guy likes to say. Gorgeous, fascinating, and compelling sounds, the kind of avant-garde music making that can speak directly to a broad audience.
