Catarina Barbieri's Retro-Futurism: The Echoes Interview
Electronic music Italian style when we talk to Caterina Barbieri. She’s a solo artist who works in modular synthesis, creating a sound of slowly-evolving patterns that weave through EDM, Minimalism and sequencer drive. She harkens back to pioneers like Morton Subotnick and shares his psychedelic underpinnings. At Big Ears Festival 2023, we caught up with Caterina Barbieri after her stellar live performance.
