Andreas Catjar is almost like a musical institution, having dedicated himself to creating music for theater, film, and dance theater since 2000. With collaborations including Abu Nein and Covenant, as well as past projects with Souls, Lovac, Down in June, and Brudjävlar, his extensive experience as a composer is undeniable. In his latest venture, teaming up with Antonia Henn as Catjar/Henn, they have crafted something truly exceptional.
The music's theatricality and expansiveness, combined with its delicacy and fragility, beautifully complement Antonia's stunning vocals. The atmosphere evokes shades of Lynch's work, whether on tracks like "The Man Mountain," the captivating composition "The Last Beat Of My Heart," or my personal favorite, "My World is Empty Without You." The poetic quality of the vocals intertwines seamlessly with the intricacy and richness of the music.
Far from intrusive electronics, the music offers tonal diversity and extends a delicate invitation to a sonic journey, where each note plays its part. Atmospheric, ephemeral soundscapes hypnotize, offering moments of solace while also encouraging the mind to wander. Intricately woven melodies and the emotive voice, subtly exploring various shades and tones, create a sonic tapestry akin to lace. It's truly beautiful music.
