KATTA (CZ)
Modern and unique organ variations for the 21st century
In Katta‘s music, ancient and modern worlds come together, the sacred meets the profane, and technological chasms are crossed: you might hear her play on some of the world‘s most treasured pipe organs in churches and cathedrals, or on her state-of-the-art, custom-built electric touring organ - and whether the ambience is provided by the dreamy acoustics of vaulted sacred spaces, or electronic soundscapes weaving in and out of her organ lines, the spirit of her music is unmistakable: ethereal, experimental, arresting.
Katta‘s new album Vox Organi, released on Berlin label Emika Records, showcases her own compositions, works for voice and organ and a remarkable series of ambient instrumental meditations, visceral pieces that change our perceptions of the possibilities of the pipe organ, the ancient instrument Katta calls ‚the first ever synthesiser.‘
