Caterina Barbieri (it)

The Italian composer and musician Caterina Barbieri has become one of the most respected modular synthesiser acts worldwide in recent years. She is considered a virtuoso in her field. Her elegant, ecstatically intense synth pieces are of universal beauty. Timeless, mystical and trance-inducing, they open up references to sacred music, are simultaneously cosmic and intimate. Conceptually, too, they go into depth, revolving around themes such as cyberculture and posthumanism; the relationship of man to technology and his environment.
