Among the Ableton Community? She's a rare female French electronic musician making beautiful ambient stuff with samples and string instruments. Her album "Everyone Alive Wants Answers" is absolutely stunning and genre-defying.

Ah a true fan I see.! Every time I listen to her I am reminded of why it is that I try to make music. Greetings from Dunedin NZ!

I love her stuff too and I have had the chance to see her live: even more cool. So if you can, try to see her live, she's amazing (and funny too)!

I was very disappointed by her last album : too much clean sound, empty songs. But the two first albums are great...
I've been said that she's really boring in live, though.

Yes yes ... 'colleen and the music boxes' (aka. Colleen Et Les Boîtes À Musique) is a great album

Chapelier, when I saw her, she had to fight against all sorts of technical problems and she managed to do half of her show without any amplification! A little girl, on stage, with all sorts of boxes/strings/guitars/flutes/humour, managing to obtain complete silence and respect from a crowd (something happened...), I say "congratulations".

Thanks a lot for the clip you posted, she makes beautiful music! I didn't know of her and that's a shame! Cheers

Oh, and I really absolutely hate this video clip. It is so surpriseless, boring and obvious. That's a shame since it's one of her best song. Sorry to be so rude ( I bought all of her albums, and I'll do the same with the next ones ! ). But honnestly, music box + slow ballet dancer + wooden stage + white dress = Makes me vomit.

I want my 15 seconds back.
