Catharina Evens

She does this, among other things, by manipulating acoustic sounds live using electronics, amplifying them, and allowing them to resonate throughout the entire piano (soundboard, soundbox, strings, etc.). The typical piano sound, which we usually associate with the acoustic piano, fades away, giving way to a unique sonic universe whose various musical possibilities she further explores through improvisation and composition. Using granular textures, playful capriciousness, compelling pianistic passages, naive phrases, fleeting bursts of sound, percussive accents, rhythmic sequences, and by exploring the gray areas between different musical genres, Catharina creates her own absurd world of sound filled with narrative fragments.
