Caterina Barbieri
AGENTMichaël Bardier
The musical vortexes of Caterina Barbieri rewire time and space. Listening to the Italian composer and modular synth virtuoso has felt like traveling at light-speed and slow- motion all at once since 2017’s breakthrough double-album Patterns Of Consciousness. Far beyond any new age trope or modern synth trend, her music stands alone in its ecstatic intensity and cataclysmic emotional impact. Marking the debut album on her new label light-years, Barbieri now delivers her most profound work yet —a journey through inner-space as vast as a universe and as intimate as a heartbeat. The Spirit Exit opens and we fall in.
Thematically the Spirit Exit live show draws on many sources, with references ranging from the sacred music and transcendental poetry of female mysticism to cyberculture and post-humanist theories, to themes of technological intimacy and machine irony, as well as the human relationship to nature and environmental collapse. By exploring the psychedelic, trance-inducing nature of sound, the album interrogates states of sensorial deprivation and fulfilment, spiritual transition and transformation, alteration of memory and perception. In a landscape of psychic desolation and vulnerability, music acts as an emotional and perceptual enhancer, a commitment to forms of radical immanence and ecstatic telepathy, at a moment of unprecedented social and ecological disintegration.
