EP Release
Écrin: a delicate case that holds something precious. A word that speaks of the treasures we carry inside.
This EP is my own écrin, inviting us to open what’s within, sometimes beautiful, sometimes raw, and share it with you through sounds.

Mathilde Vendramin
is a French cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Berlin.
A multifaceted artist, she moves fluidly between genres, blending music, writing, and performance to create immersive and deeply personal works.
With a background in musicology, classical cello, jazz cello and vocal jazz, she has long been a sought-after collaborator within various ensembles.
Alongside her many collaborations, she is now fully embracing her own artistic voice as a bandleader and composer.
The year 2025 marked a new chapter in her artistic journey, with the release of Outline, an EP created in duo with pianist Arseny Rykov, as well as the continuation of her work with her quartet on Écrin released in January 2026. These two projects now form the core of her musical landscape.

This debut EP introduces an innovative duo blending classical chamber music with jazz and improvisation. Featuring Mathilde Vendramin as both singer and cellist, alongside pianist Arseny Rykov, the EP creates an intimate, emotive soundscape that moves between French impressionism, improvisation, and rich melodies. A beautifully refined collection that perfectly captures the essence of their creative collaboration.
