On "A Flame My Love, a Frequency," Colleen moves entirely to analog synthesizers, creating a sound that is both intricately composed and viscerally immediate. The album finds Schott exploring themes of love and technology through a distinctly physical, modular electronic framework.

• The album was composed and performed entirely on modular synthesizers, a departure from her previous sample-based work.
• "A Flame My Love, a Frequency" was released on October 20, 2017, by the independent label Thrill Jockey.
• The album's title is drawn from a line in the poem "Black Tea" by the American poet Muriel Rukeyser.

Colleen is the solo electronic music project of French composer Cécile Schott. She emerged in the early 2000s, known for her sample-based compositions that blended electronic textures with traditional instrumentation. In 2017, with "A Flame My Love, a Frequency," Schott moved away from her earlier, more sample-heavy sound toward a fully synthesized, analog approach.
