A pleasure to invite Chamber duo @snowdropsmusic to my sixth episode of monthly radio ‘Fast Travel’ for a special mix « Between two oceans » on @hkcronline celebrating thier upcoming record « Missing Island » on @injazerorecords

Snowdrops celebrates musical freedom ; formed in 2015 by Christine Ott & Mathieu Gabry, the french chamber duo is driven by a deeply personal approach to composition, improvisation and orchestration.

The pair drew from a unique combination of contemporary classical, jazz, electronic music and ambient, and spent the first few years of their partnership on various collaborations, from theater plays to films scores. Most notably, Snowdrops composed the acclaimed soundtrack to Phuttiphong Aroonpheng’s first feature Manta Ray, which won the Best Film Award at the 2018 Venice Festival (Orizzonti).

Snowdrops signed to Injazero Records for the release of their graceful debut album Volutes in October 2020, an eloquent miniature symphony of strings, piano and Ondes Martenot. Joined by violist Anne-Irène Kempf, they will release a new chapter in the natural history of Snowdrops with « Missing Island » on November 25th.
