KAT V
Nationally acclaimed, KAT V has been re-defining the classical violinist image with the help of some strings and needles. Born to a family of musicians, she started classical violin training at age 5. Her inspiration to change the way people experience classical instruments started when she was exposed to the world of house, hip-hop and experimental music. KAT’s curiosity (and frequent appearance) in the Chicago nightclub and DJ scene opened up new outlets and possibilities of musical expression.
KAT V was raised from a young age to follow the traditional path of a classical musician, but, as genre-bending electric violinist and DJ, her approach to music has become far from conventional. Kat calls Miami Beach a second home and finds most of the musical inspirations in the beautiful sounds and frequencies of nature, city and culture.
Kat’s electric violin freestyle is often unpredictable and distinctly modern and fully immersed in the present moment, yet ultimately still grounded in the traditional sound of the classical violin. The unique sonic qualities of the electric violin often surprise audiences and connect on a deeply emotional level, redefining what the classical instrument has accomplished for hundreds of years.
KAT V released OPUS ONE EP which features music instruments from around the world, and special interludes through out the album highlight live Earth Gong performed by virtuoso Danielle Dvorak, which KAT V found transcendental during her music exploration journey. The Earth Gong is tuned to the Earth’s frequency 432hz which has been attributed to DNA healing as well as awakening the Theta brainwave state which makes us feel relaxed, but conscious and open to intuitive learning.
Kat’s continued exploration of healing sound frequencies and instrument tuning methods resulted in a natural progression to enhance the physical manifestation of the movement with a complimentary sonic expression to elevate the physical body movement. The goal is to reach the transcendental dance and the next level of the healing journey.
Kat’s personal Yoga practice journey began 20 years ago, it was a natural exploration of all the available methods, styles and teachers. Her current favorite is the rejuvenating pace of Yin Yoga.
The musical intention for today’s practice is to elevate vitality, release limitations and enlighten your conscience.
