Klimperei

Klimperei is a French project started in 1985 by Françoise and Christophe Petchanatz, making melodic pieces with toy instruments, piano and guitar. Since around 2002 Christophe Petchanatz has run it on his own, often with guests, and the music sits between childlike toy pop, minimalism and neo-classical miniatures. Early Klimperei releases circulated on cassette, among them When Memories Began to Fade (1987). Later albums include Sérieux, Pimpant and Triste (all 2002, Novel Cell Poem) and Baboler (2005).
