Gillet est née en Belgique et a grandi à Singapour pendant 9 ans. Résidant en Nouvelle-Orléans depuis 24 ans, elle a performé avec des musiciens de tout genres, allant de Jazz avant-gardiste, au classique, pop, folk et funk – Gillet a developpé un style polyglotte et unique. Au coeur de sa pratique artistique est la performance live untilisant l’improvisation et la répitition / ‘looping’, qui combine son violoncelle et son chant. Des rhythmes émergent, des ostinatos joués à l’archet ou pizzicato, de la percussion joués avec des frottements et de claquements sur le corps même du violoncelle; le tout complimenté avec des mélodies jouées en voix lyrique du violoncelle ou chantées avec sa voix alto envoûtant. Elle a performé pour nombreux festivals à travers l’Europe, l’Australie et les États-Unis, en tant qu’artiste solo, collaboratrice et éducatrice d’improvisation, expression et bouclage fluide, humaine et sans raccord. Gillet a produit pour d’innombrables musiciens tout au long de sa carrière et a sorti 14 albums de sa propre musique, et genres variés allant de jazz, progressif, électronique, folk, rock, punk, avec des groupes ou en format solo. Sa parution la plus récente, « ReBelle », est un hommage au musicien et poet Belge, Julos Beaucarne; enregistré en collaboration avec une quintette de musiciens de la Nouvelle-Orléans.

Helen Gillet is a singer-songwriter and surrealist-archeologist exploring synthesized sounds, texture, and rhythm using an acoustic cello. Gillet is the recipient of the Doris Duke Performance Award, New Orleans Best Contemporary Jazz and best Female Performer from Gambit Best of The Beat awards and Offbeat Magazine’s Best “Other Instrumentalist” and “Mixed Bag” music and twice for Rising Star in Downbeat Magazine’s Critic Poll. Gillet was born in Belgium, raised in Singapore for 9 years as a child. Over the past 23 years, living in New Orleans she has played with musicians of all stripes, from avant-garde jazz and classical to pop and funk — Gillet has developed a singular polyglot style. The core of her work is solo performance with live looping, layering cello parts and vocal lines. Rhythmic figures emerge with bowed or plucked ostinatos or a variety of rubbing and slapping on the body of the cello, then enhanced with melodies played or sung in her haunting alto. Gillet’s solo performance with “My Pal Foot Foot” is known for its enigmatic quality as she fabricates each song with innovative use of the cello and true mastery of live looping technology. She has performing in festivals across Europe, Australia, and The United States as a solo musician, collaborator and educator. Gillet has recorded for countless musicians throughout her career and has self published 14 albums of her own original music ranging from progressive jazz, electro folk rock and punk bands and solo singer-songwriting albums. Her latest album is called “ReBelle” a Tribute to Belgian folk singer Julos Beaucarne and features a quintet of New Orleans musicians.
