With her third full-length release, Cecile Schott (AKA Colleen) has abandoned the use of electronics and looping in favor of a more natural sound; the tracks here are littered with classical guitar, viol, clarinet, spinet and a singing bell. "Sun Against My Eyes" and "Sea of Tranquility" are particularly notable for their combination of clarinet and guitar, while the more chamber-oriented pieces seem to limp along with no end in sight. At its worst, Les Ondes Silencieuses is charming, pedestrian folk music.
