Cloé Du Trèfle … one of Belgian’s most promising young composers!
Cloe du Trèfle’s career skyrocketed throughout Benelux after her making it into the finale of the prestigious musical competition: “La Biennale de la Chanson française” (2002), winning a special price from the French network “Couleur Chansons”.
One year later she won first price at the “Musique à la française” (2003) as well as winning a price from the Botanique and from the renowned “Francofolies de Spa”.

ONCE UPON A TIME

Cloé Defossez grew up in Brussels, Belgium, playing the piano and listening to classical music but simply cannot resist the growing desire to expand her musical horizons. She decides to learn to play electric guitar and bass guitar and various kinds of keyboards (Harmoniums, Hammond’s, Rhodes…) and spends the rest of her free time refining her sampling skills.

Add to the above her never ending curiosity and wish to invent new sounds on her computer and you get a glimpse of the eclectic style that describes her so well.

Cloé also composes music for documentaries and films, enjoying different musical collaborations, keeping the door to her creative universe wide open.

ALBUMS

“Tales from my skyscraper” is the English album that Cloé wrote together with CLOVERS CLOÉ, the band she created back in 1999.

With them she played in Belgium’s most prestigious venues including Ancienne Belgique and Botanique, opening for internationally acclaimed artists such as Ben Harper, Ani di Franco and Robert Plant.

Wanting to stay close to her linguistic roots, Cloé decides French to be the language for her next album and composes 16 new songs under the name of Cloé du Trèfle.

After the triumph of her first album various record companies are eager to sign her up. Cloé encounters Renaud Lhoest, known to have made musical arrangements for Yann Tiersen, Domanique A and Venus, amongst others.

He proposes to refine several of Cloe’s compositions creating musical arrangements for orchestra and “Sapristi” is born.

The album, engineered and mixed by Rudy Coclet is self produced and distributed throughout Benelux under Distrisound-Bang! in 2004.

The press, unanimously enthusiastic, describes Cloé du Trefle’s music as refreshing, lyrical, diverse and profound.

NEW ALBUM

Her 2nd album in French, entitled “Microclimat” is again entirely self produced in collaboration with Rudy Coclet (Arno, Dominique A) and tells tales about Europe, about “cranes as Modern Insects “, afflictive emotions, recycling, famous thieves,… offering a fascinating diversity in the composition of the songs. Cloé clearly shows us her ability and natural flair when it comes to interweaving classical music with electronic sounds.

Already having received fantastic revues from the press and radio stations trough out the Benelux, “Microclimat” will be officially released in Switzerland and France during late summer of 2007.
