About
American violinist, born 16 May 1974, based in Stockholm, Sweden.
She moved to Stockholm in 2010, after living in the Boston and Philadelphia areas for many years, playing improvised and various other sorts of music on the violin, producing shows, and helping to run venues. She quickly became involved in new projects, including The Schematics, Yun Kan 10, Klas Nevrin Ensemble and many other collaborations. Katt’s compositional work during the last few years has been focused upon works which utilize field recordings, modular synthesizers, supercollider and violin. She has made multi-channel works, stereo works, and installations with these materials. She has also begun writing for the violin, drawing on her vast experience as an improviser on the instrument, wherein she has stretched the boundaries of extended techniques through collaboration with a host of musicians and other artists from every thinkable genre. Her violin work has involved, among other things, the acoustic emulation of electronic instruments and the exploration of sound extension through harmonics and other artifacts. Katt has earned a Masters degree in Composition with a focus on EAM at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm (KMH), and began a Phd program in Music at Musikakademien in Malmö in 2015. Her compositions have been played at Audiorama, Fylkingen, Norberg festival and on the Swedish radio, among other venues.
