MySpace a place for friends

Catrin je varijacija engleskog imena Catherine, naziva jedne od pjesama PJ Harvey. To je ujedno i posveta njoj kao jednom od stvaralaca popularne muzike ciji je opus ostavio znacajan trag na moj muzicki rast i razvoj. Noise je asocijacija na atmosferu velikih gradova. Nesto me neprestano privlaci u slici gradskih svjetala, zvukova, brzog zivota i akumulacije ljudi. Tezim tome da i moja muzika prenese tu atmosferu. Tekstovi su sazeto svjedocanstvo odnosa sa bliskim ljudima (i reakcija na njih), ponekad i rijec u njihovo ime. Orijentacija na trip-hop/downtempo je izraz zelje da se krene dalje u istrazivanje zvuka u odnosu na dominantne pravce na prostorima Bosne i Hercegovine i okolnih zemalja, ali i rezultat odusevljenja energijom koju nosi muzika nekih autora iz te oblasti (Bjork, Radiohead, Zero 7..). Nakon iskustva sa BL Kolektivom, projektom ciji je inicijator bio muzicar iz Banjaluke koji stoji i iza samostalnog projekta Plavi Podrum (myspace.com/plavipodrum), bilo je jasno da je to smjer kojim zelim i sama da krenem. Saradnja izmedju nas bila je vrlo uspjesna zahvaljujuci njegovoj viziji koja je uveliko doprinijela definisanju mog zvuka. Pjesma Watched You nasla se 2008. godine na "Re_Startu", kompilaciji banjaluckih bendova. Iste godine bend osvaja Nagradu akreditovanih novinara na Demo festu, takmicenju demo bendova sa prostora pet drzava. Zatim 2009. godine pjesma Destiny izlazi na "Kompilaciji muzike iz BL ― koBle daBle 1985-2008", a recenzija ju je opisala kao "elektronski trip-hop s elegantnim zenskim vokalom koji uopce ne djeluje kao da dolazi s ovih balkanskih podrucja". Nakon nastupa u Somboru, Mostaru, Banjaluci i Zagrebu, Catrin Noise nastavlja da se razvija i da radi na ostvarenju nekih novih planova.

It is also a way of paying homage to her as one of the popular music writers whose work has had a big impact on my musical growth and development. Noise is my word association to the city atmosphere. There is something about city lights, noise, fast living and crowds that draws me irresistibly, hence the attempt to express the feel with my music. The lyrics are condensed expression of various feelings for people I am close to (and a reaction to them), at times even a statement on their behalf. The choice of trip-hop/downtempo expresses my wish to expand sound exploration in relation to other music genres dominant in Bosnia and Herzegovina and surrounding countries, but it is also a result of enthusiasm for the energy conveyed by artists such as Bjork, Radiohead, Zero 7... Having had a personal experience with the project called BL Kolektiv, whose initiator and cornerstone was a musician from Banja Luka (his current solo project is Plavi Podrum, myspace.com/plavipodrum), it was clear this was the direction I wanted to take. Our collaboration was fruitful thanks to his vision that has had a lot to do with my own sound definition. One of he songs, Watched You, was published on the CD compilation named "Re_Start", which was made to promote musicians from Banja Luka. In 2008 her band has won the accredited journalist award on demo bands competition which hosted bands from five surrounding countries. In the beginning of 2009 the song Destiny has been published on the "Banjaluka music compilation - koBle daBle 1985-2008". The review described Destiny as the "electronic trip/hop with a graceful female vocalist which doesn't sound like it's coming from Balkan". After performing in Sombor, Mostar, Banjaluka and Zagreb, Catrin Noise continues to develop and strives to actualize their ideas. My URL: myspace.com/catrinnoise
