Leila Bordreuil is a French-American cellist, composer, and sound artist based in Brooklyn, NY.

Bordreuil collaborates with a diverse range of artists including Laurel Halo, Tamio Shiraishi, Lee Ranaldo, Drew McDowall, Michael Foster, Chris Corsano, and Luke Stewart. Her latest album, Music for Intersecting Planes, a duo with Kali Malone, is out on Ideologic Organ.
