solo bassoon+electronics

Katherine Young’s debut bassoon record, Further Secret Origins (Porter Records, 2009) garnered praise in The Wire (“Bassoon colossus”), Downbeat ("seriously bold leaps for the bassoon"), and elsewhere. Since that acoustic recording, Katherine has gone on to develop an electro-acoustic approach to her instrument, using amplification and pedals to enhance the acoustic power of the bassoon, bring out interior resonances, and create monolithic soundscapes.

Listen to “To Daphne and Delia II” from Phantom Images and "Terra Incognita" from Further Secret Origins (Porter).
