about
«KATZGRABEN is the capital of the planet Guttapercha, a village somewhere in a map of places in permanent shipping. The territory is disordered in five drawers: unfinished ideas, rough drafts, sketches, untied words and essays. In Katzgraben there are colonies of Gregor Samsas, hermits who play ghost-guitars, forests of night-crows with infra-red eyes and in the trenches that separate this land from the world a cat has been composing soundtracks inspired by photos, paintings, literature and exhibitions. Together they are preparing the end-of-the-world gig. See you on the village's airport.» KATZGRABEN = tiago e. + ricardo p., josé v., (...) The debut online release from Katzgraben (Merzbau 2008) was an improvised sketch of "home demos for imaginary film scenes, literary passages, unfinished paintings and experimental photography". But it was also the starting point for a blind leap into musique concrète concepts, monolithic soundscapes, and a certain lynchian type of sonorous narrative. Katzgraben's original elements - stray guitars, ghostly spoken words and breathless melodicas - have now a different texture.
