Caterina Barbieri

Lost And Sound

Composer and musician Caterina Barbieri talks with Paul about her deeply philosophical and instinctive approach to synthesizers and building sonic communities. We chat about Caterina's journey from the classical conservatories of Bologna to the community-enriched soundscape of Berlin, capturing her transformation into a pioneer of electronic music.

Woven into our conversation are the threads of Caterina's personal discovery, involving discovering the physical properties of sound at a SUNN O))) gig, how she navigates the often codified world of modular synthesis and finding a church like experience playing at Berlin’s iconic Kraftwerk space.
