Beautiful, touching classical-based melodies...woven into a spectacular orchestral / pop backing.
The violin is her Stroking Voice...
She uses it in a completely different way than other violinists do.....
producing a breathing and vibrating sound which resembles more
the female voice than a usual violin.....

BIO:
Catya Maré has been playing the violin all her life (first concert as a soloist with an orchestra at the early age of 10 years old, teachers a.o. Zakhar Bron), playing solo concerts as a classical violinist in the USA, Israel, Germany, Scandinavia, Italy, Spain.
She received her master..s degree at the Music Conservatory in Munich (Germany), held the position of an alternating concertmaster with a big scandinavian symphony orchestra (Aarhus Symfoniorkester).... and then found out that there were other possibilities, this wasn..t enough....
One day, in 2004, when recovering from a bad influenza and starting to play the violin again, she became aware of the fact, that she was playing something she never had heard or seen before. ESSENTIAL IMPRO! Music arising from the moment! A quite unusual thing for a classical musician.
Since then she performed at Museums of Modern Art (National Galerie Berlin, Kunsthaus Zürich, Leopold Museum Wien, Miami Bass Museum of Art etc), international concert halls, shows and collaborated with dancers and painters.
In February 2006 Catya Maré started to compose songs, where her violin is the primary voice. Electronica / ambient / classical.
A collaboration with Jakob Gadegaard Frandsen (engineer) and Henrik Koitzsch (guitar player).
Fantastic responses immediately!
Her songs have been broadcasted at hundreds of international radio stations, are receiving the most amazing reviews and are placed on TV shows and films....
In April 2007 Catya Maré won the Sonic Bids Award for Composition, what resulted in a non-exclusive publishing deal with the US music publisher Noteborn Music.
And in September her song "It Came True" was featured in Vic Alexander..s film "BUTTERFLIES IN THE WIND" at the Awa Gardner Film Festival in North Carolina.
When not performing concerts/shows Catya Maré composes / produces / records her own music. LIGHT LONGING, the critically acclaimed debut album, has been released in January 2007 and is available from every major digital download site.
Also her second album, REMEMBERING THE DAY, is available now from international digital download sites. You can find some of the fabulous reviews on REMEMBERING THE DAY in the "Reviews Section" here on this page...

SOME REVIEWS:
Review on "Remembering The Day":
Catya Maré was a featured soloist in Europe by the age of 10. So it came as quite a surprise to this classical trained prodigy when she found herself creating improvisational music after a long bout with the flu. The creative freedom she found so unexpectedly led her to a whole new career and a style of playing that some may find reminiscent of early Kitaro. Her compositions are soaring and ethereal, as one listener noted, "light given voice". She blends the sound of her violin seamlessly with the synthesized keyboards and incorporates delicate percussion and effects nicely.
On this album (which was retitled and repackaged when she signed with Spectra), all nine pieces are quite rich in melody and emotion. I especially like "Spring".
This is an exceptionally nice album.
(Review by Anne Williams, New Age Retailer)
"Catya Mare is a violinist that hails from Denmark, and perhaps one of the most talented violinists I have heard in a long time.
The violin is her voice; it brings forth sensual, atmospheric melodies with music that refreshes the soul.
Her music has begun to gain popularity across Europe through her MySpace website, and now her second CD, Clouds, exhibits another ethereal journey into the beauty of progressive classical music.
For anyone who thinks violins are boring, this album will prove you wrong. The ambient pop feel supports the heavenly sound of her violin that can do nothing but refresh your spirit and mind.
It is what legendary music does best : every track on this CD touches the soul .. and it touches the sky. It was impossible to just listen to every selection once or twice.
Each song on Clouds expresses such emotion that the listener feels it.
The music tells a beautiful story. It paints pictures in the listeners’ mind that cannot be described as anything less that gorgeous. Technically, the music is totally flawless.
Clouds may give off the impression that it is classical, but it is much more than that; it exposes the other side of the world. Denmark is certainly lucky to have such an amazing violinist."
(by Anne Carrington, Indie Music Stop, November 24, 2007)
"...With full orchestral backup on many of her songs, even those that are stripped down to nothing more than Catya's violin also have all the textures of a forest at sunrise. And I also discovered that her music paints pictures in my mind that are absolutely gorgeous. Technically, I find any point of her music to be flawless...
Comparing her to any of the finest violinists in the world isn't out of the question. I really look forward to Catya Maré's music being included on MIXXSTUDIOS playlist. Steve, you're right, she is fabulous.
(Tim Weber, MIXXSTUDIOS, USA)"
"Light Longing is an ethereal journey into the beauty of progressive classical music. For anyone who thinks violins are boring, this album will prove you wrong. It leaves you mesmerized by the peace and serenity an excellent violinist can give. The melodic pop feel of the album only adds to its appeal for the modern music listener. Ambient beats support the heavenly sound of her violin that can do nothing but refresh your spirit and mind. Highly recommended after a long day of work when you need to relax and replenish yourself.
Catya Mare is truly a talented artist, a rare gem in the mainstream pop world today. A beautiful treat to the ears that will take you to places you’d never thought existed, and from which you’ll never want to come back."

"....visions of sunrises, sunsets and rainbows so hauntingly beautiful, spiritual, peaceful .. and ever so holy. You took me far into my dreamworld and you made me feel like ... like, well, just like "It Came True". What an absolutely beautiful and inspirational experience it was for me. You make music do what great music - what legendary music does best - with every beat of the heart it touches the soul .. and it touches the sky. It was impossible to just listen to this song once or twice - no, for me, it was much more than that. This is a wonderful, beautiful song Catya ... no words were spoken, yet every word was said. Thank you for such a deeply emotional piece of music - I'm honored to add "It Came True" to Legendary Music."
