Catya Maré

Catya Maré Bio:

If you thought this was a usual violinist you´re definitely wrong.....The violin is Catya Maré´s voice...beautiful melodies weaved into an ambient/electronica backing.....sensual, emotional, funky, chill out, spiritual music...
This music will make you love life...charge your batteries...
Right now on 64 international radio stations...



Reviews:

"...With full orchestral backup on many of her songs, even those that are stripped down to nothing more than Catya's violin also have all the textures of a forest at sunrise. And I also discovered that her music paints pictures in my mind that are absolutely gorgeous. Technically, I find any point of her music to be flawless...Comparing her to any of the finest violinists in the world isn't out of the question. I really look forward to Catya Maré's music being included on MIXXSTUDIOS playlist. Steve, you're right, she is fabulous.

BIO:
Catya Maré has been playing the violin all her life (first concert as a soloist with an orchestra at the early age of 10 years old, teachers a.o. Zakhar Bron), playing soloconcerts as a classical violinist in the USA, Israel, Germany..... has been holding the position of an alternating concertmaster with a big scandinavian symphony orchestra (Aarhus Symfoniorkester).... and then found out that there were other possibilities, this wasn´t enough....
One day, about three years ago, when recovering from a bad influenza and starting to play the violin again, she became aware of the fact, that she was playing something she never had heard or seen before. ESSENTIAL IMPRO! Music arising from the moment! A quite unusual thing for a classical musician. Listen to some of it here www.iacmusic.com/catyamare. Since then she does perform at Museums of Modern Art (National Galerie Berlin, Kunsthaus Zürich, Leopold Museum Wien, Miami Bass Museum of Art etc), at churches, shows and does collaborate with dancers and painters.

In February 2006 she started to compose songs, where the violin is the primary voice. It´s a completely new style of playing the violin (or better: singing it...) a breathing and vibrating sound, which resembles more the female voice than a usual violin.....Already now the songs have been broadcasted at 64 international radio stations, are receiving the most amazing reviews and are placed in TV shows and movies....

When not performing concerts/shows she does produce / record her own music. LIGHT LONGING, the debut album, has been released in January 2007.

You can buy LIGHT LONGING on iTunes and from summer 2007 from Rhapsody, Napster, Emusic, Sony Connect, too....
