Clotilde (Rullaud) ([kloːtildəʼ ʁʏːlɔ]; born on March 1, 1978, in Reims, France) is an artistic director, singer, vocalist, flutist, composer, filmmaker, producer and vocal coach.
Clotilde was immersed in the performing arts (music, theatre and dance) from early childhood. Aged five, she began studying flute and singing, before going on to complete her studies in jazz and improvised music at IACP (Paris) and EDIM ( Cachan). She also explored opera singing with the tenor Peterson Cowan.
Her musical identity developed through her travels ( the Balkans, Ireland, Lebanon, the US) and through her studying of vocal techniques, [1] inspired by Meredith Monk, fado, tango, Romani music, Turkish music, Persian music, Inuit throat singing and Bulgarian voices.
Clotilde has recorded three albums as a vocalist and flutist. She has also directed and produced a short film, and written and directed a multidisciplinary performance.
With a repertoire spanning jazz, free improvisation and folk music, her career as a musician has led her to perform in France, Germany, Australia, Burkina Faso, China, South Korea, Japan, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and the United States. Since 2007, Clotilde has taught at Martina A. Catella's school, Les Glotte-Trotters, [2] in Paris. She also runs workshops for the festival Les Suds in Arles [3] and for the Ateliers d’ethnomusicologie (ADEM) in Geneva. [4]
In 2002 and 2003, she conceived two live shows inspired by her travel diaries: Sur la route des Tziganes and Monsieur Jazz, both multidisciplinary pieces for seven performers, in which Clotilde sang and danced, as well as narrated.
In 2004, she started working with the guitar player, Hugo Lippi, with whom she recorded her first album, Live au 7 Lézards, three years later.
March 2008 saw the beginning of a new project called In Extremis, a bass-less quartet with Olivier Hutman (piano), Dano Haider ( seven-string guitar) and Antoine Paganotti (drums). Their hybrid music takes the audience to a place where the greatest jazz standards rub shoulders with world music, original compositions and pop songs.
Since 2010, Clotilde has developed a collaboration with bandonéonist and composer Tristan Macé. Their first project was Le Diable à froid (2010), a trio with horn-player Albin Lebossé, revolving around the musical and literary styles of surrealism, Dadaism and tango.
Next came Tristan Macé's jazz opera Etrangement Bleu (2011). Their most recent project is Fleurs Invincibles – Invincible Flowers (2012), also involving Emmanuel Bex (piano/ organ), Yann Cléry (flutes), Laurent Salzard (bass) and Gautier Garrigue (drums). This bilingual project is based on original compositions by Tristan Macé, and inspired by texts from American poets of the Beat Generation, and black French poets of the 1940s and 1950s.
In 2014, she started collaborating with the pianist Alexandre Saada. Together, they founded the group Madeleine & Salomon, a minimalist and delicate duo tackling a humanist and rebellious repertoire. Their first album, A Woman's Journey, is a homage to American female protest singers.
In 2017, she moved to New York City to pursue a collaboration with the American pianist Chris McCarthy, which led to Pieces of a Song, a repertoire of dark and beautiful pieces based on the writings of Beat poet Diane di Prima.
In 2019, Clotilde took part in the Badara festival in Burkina-Faso, her first encounter with this country where she established multiple artistic collaborations. Each stay gave rise to new creations: the French-Burkinese quintet Sankolé, created in January 2020, the Burkinese-Swiss-French quartet KanFiguè, created in January 2021, and the French-Burkinese quartet Djafolo.
In 2021, Clotilde continued her reflections on womanhood by presenting XXY, an interdisciplinary play performed by five musicians and five dancers, accompanied with footage of her music and body in motion [ɛks/ɛks/wʌɪ] (2018). Grégory Dargent was involved as composer and Mehdi Diouri and Céline Tringali as choreographers.
Random synchronicities
noun, neologism. Non-illustrative dialogue between two different artistic disciplines expressing themselves irrespectively of each other, yet simultaneously. Poetry of revealed things. [5]
Clotilde revisits the well-known accidental synchronisms of cinematographic creation that Cocteau had already transposed to live performance through Roland Petit, choreographer of the play Le Jeune Homme et la Mort. She creates the conditions for these "prepared accidents", working on the presence in the moment as momentum.
Through these polyphonic works, each artistic discipline plays its own score. Inspired by the same intention, but fully independent from each other in their creative journey, they raise each other to a vibration that they could not have reached separately, thus avoiding the pitfall of illustration. When these scores meet, accidental synchronicities arise that open up new ways of looking at things, laying the foundations for a possible symbolic revolution.
