About Me

"THE SCANDINAVIAN MELANCHOLY RUNS THROUGH THE WOODS LIKE A TRICKLING STREAM CLEAR AS SPRINGTIME, AND RESEMBLES A FRENCH BLACK AND WHITE MOVIE FROM THE 1960’s. THE MATERIAL FROM COPENHAGEN-BASED ARTIST, KATRINE OTTOSEN, IS ORGANIC, HIGHLY AESTHETIC AND SOMEHOW UNIVERSAL.AS A FEMALE VOCALIST OTTOSEN STRONGLY PUTS HERSELF APART FROM THE DANISH CROWD, SINGING WITH A NATURAL TIMBER, NOT TO MENTION A DELICATE FEELING FOR RESTRAINING HER OWN SENSUALITY WITH A SUBTLETY THAT MAKES THE ALMOST NAKED SONGS STAND TRANSPARENT." [FROM REVIEW ON DANISH WEBSITE WWW.SOUNDVENUE.COM - TRANSLATED] ............................................................ ..... i work on this strange thing called my first album. called music. call it whatever. singing, writing songs and lyrics, playing keys (adore my casio). i’ve toured around. often just with my companions Korg and Casio and their other little friends, but also as opening act for french Nouvelle Vague and others. the songs here are recorded with DANIEL FRIDELL. he puts my crooked kat-ideas into the computer and works something close to magic around his fine selection of older and newer beautiful keyboards. on the side i started to record some of my music myself too. it’s turned into becoming my first release - an EP that’ll be out before too long. before summer. Valgeir Sigurdsson is mixing. more on this on my CaLLmeKAT profile. see you out there. KATI edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
