About Me

Kaitlyn Ni Donovan,
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kaitlyn Ni Donovan is a classically trained violinist and composer of experimental music, dream pop and soundtrack music from Portland, Oregon. She is self taught on a multitude of instruments and is known for unorthodox chord changes and lyrics peppered with dense language and romantic imagery. Vocally she sings in a style that is angelic and sparse and is sometimes compared to Elizabeth Fraser of The Cocteau Twins. In the mid 1990's she performed with six or more players live. These performances included strings, toy piano's, acoustic and electric instruments. This sound would become known as chamber pop or Baroque pop in the North West music scene. In 1999 Hush Records released ni Donovan's "Songs for Three Days". Produced by Tony Lash, 'Three Days' along with the compilation called "Flag" would flagship Hush's start to national distribution. In 2000 Kaitlyn would join the shoegaze band called The High Violets. Extensive touring would put her solo career on hold. Plans for a 2008 solo release is reported.Solo Discography1999 Songs for 'Three Days (Hush Records) 1996 Dinner with Bosch (New Weave Records) 1993 Cannible Spirit (Cannible Music)
