Book by Clotilde

French interdisciplinary artist Clotilde's various projects and collaborations.

“Clotilde Rullaud, a prodigiously talented singer who defies convention.” Clive Davis - SUNDAY TIMES (UK)

“Clotilde Rullaud is one of those artists whose creative path is the natural extension of her existence, and vice versa. A coherent and ultra-sensorial whole. The ear, the life...” Lorraine Soliman - POLITIS (FR)

“Clotilde Rullaud proves to be a great director on top of being a musician and a video maker. She is versatile, she is a magician.” Fabienne Schouler - ART-CHIPEL (FR)

“Clotilde has an established reputation for working with sounds. Her imagination has always been filled with images and visions. This subject has led her to explore her visual sensitivity through gathering a circle of friends and artists she admires and to whom she has dealt certain cards. The result is a fluid, elegant montage that completes the equilibrium of this profusion of sensations.” Benjamin Minimum - MEDIAPART (FR)

“Unclassified!” Ben Stewart - SCENE MAGAZINE (AU)

“Clotilde Rullaud’s true purpose: challenging both song and voice in order to reach their full expression.” Obari Toshio – JazzCritics (JP)

“She seems not to beam her vocalastics through the electronics of a modern microphone, but rather through a gigantic prism that in turn rotates on an imaginary axis, controlled it would appear, by the power of her will. Her sublime vocal gymnastics is refracted as if by magic into a myriad of aural colours.” Raul da Gama - LATIN JAZZ NETWORK (CA)

“No matter what she sings, what strikes you first is the depth she brings to her work.” Mario Vogt - FONOFORUM (DE)

“She improvises, sings in a fluttery voice, chirps like a bird and even shouts. She is interested in breaks and collages, and it is in this sense that her music is decidedly modern.” Udo Raaf - TONSPION (DE)

“She has such great control of the voice and her material that she holds you, fascinated, in the palm of her hand (or, more accurately, vocal cords). (…) Rullaud is an extraordinary talent.” Lynn René Bayley – Fanfare Magazine (US)

“A variety of intensities and registers, driven by a deep love for the original beauty of the melody.“ CatfishRecord (JP)

“Sa voix agile d’un mezzo swinguant et profond, est de celles qui viennent de loin, tout simplement de la nécessité de chanter, comme un souffle sorti directement de l’âme.” Laurent Valéro – “Easy Tempo”, Radio France Musique (FR)

“Ce qu’on retient d’abord c’est (…) sa voix riche de timbres sans effets gratuits. (…) une voix passant l’air de rien du frôlement de la mélodie à une affirmation, une décision prégnantes.” Jacques Chesnel – Citizenjazz (FR)

“Clotilde Rullaud donne à découvrir une voix saisissante, exceptionnelle de gravité qui n'est pas sans rappeler Nina Simone. (***)” Jean-Marc Gelin – Jazzman (FR)
