Katharina Ernst celebrates the release of her fantastic new record EXTRAMETRIC II at Galiläakirche in Friedrichshain this November.
Austrian-malaysian performer Katharina Ernst started playing the drums at age nine, with an early focus on polymetric, odd and chaotic structures. Across her work, she puts emphasis on transgressing the fields of music, fine arts and choreography, celebrating a hybrid notion of the term “composition”, and allows herself for various forms of expression and translation. Taz writes, her music is “avant-garde, but surprisingly accessible”, as she uses her drums “percussively, but also as a melodic instrument.”
EXTRAMETRIC II is the second solo album of the EXTRAMETRIC series by drummer and composer Katharina Ernst. Following her debut LP EXTRAMETRIC from 2018, this record is an even deeper exploration of polyrhythmics on acoustic drums and electronic devices. This time, Katharina is also experimenting with voice and text.
