About Me

If you thought this was a usual violinist you..re definitely wrong.....The violin is Catya Maré..s voice...sensual, atmospheric melodies woven into an ambient/electronica backing.....poetic, emotional, soulful, funky, chill out, spiritual music... This music will recharge your batteries...and refresh your soul.... Right now on 90 international radio stations, TV shows and Hollywood films...

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 solo concerts 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 essential-impro .
Since then she does perform at Museums of Modern Art (National Galerie Berlin, Kunsthaus Zürich, Leopold Museum Wien, Miami Bass Museum of Art etc), churches, shows and does collaborate with dancers and painters.
In February 2006 Catya Maré started to compose songs, where her violin is the primary voice. Electronica / ambient / classical. A collaboration with Jakob Gadegaard Frandsen (engineer) and Henrik Koitzsch (guitar player).
Fantastic responses immediately! Her songs have been broadcasted at 90 international radio stations, are receiving the most amazing reviews and are placed on TV shows and films....
In April 2007 Catya Maré..s music has been selected for a non-exclusive publishing deal with the US music publisher Noteborn Music.
And in September her song "It Came True" has been featured in Vic Alexander..s film "BUTTERFLIES IN THE WIND" at the Awa Gardner Film Festival in North Carolina.
When not performing concerts/shows Catya Maré does compose / produce / record her own music. LIGHT LONGING, the debut album, has been released in January 2007 and is available from her webstore here on mspace. Also her second album, CLOUDS, is available now from her webstore...here on this page.
In February 2008 she got signed by the independent record label Spectra Records (South Carolina) and relocated from Denmark to LA.
Spectra Records will distribute her two first albums and release her third.

Sounds Like: Catya Maré´s music sounds like a forest at sunrise (as a review read) or moonlight shimmering on the sea at night (or twilight)....Those who like Sarah Brightman, Enigma, Enya, Deep Forest, Elu, Delerium or Kitaro are often Catya Maré´s fans, too. Beautiful melodies...woven into an ambient/ electronica backing, evocative music, chill out, sensual, spiritual, funky, emotional and soulful.... The violin is her Stroking Voice... She uses it in a completely different way than other violinists do..... producing a breathing and vibrating sound which resembles more the female voice than a usual violin.....You can feel and smell the sound.....
