Kot Kot

Kot Kot is a sound artist from Karelia, North-West Russia, based in Germany. She plays and records music based on found sounds and sound collages, both abstract and rhythmic. She uses recordings of different environments: nature, cities, street musicians, occasional radio broadcasts, old movies, authentic music experiences of different people, neighbours whistling…, that are then mixed out with own music pieces in live recording sessions. Synthesizers for children, samplers and sound processors are being used. These are minimalistic songs and pieces inspired by soviet magazines and books for children. The lyrics are a sporadic mixture of texts and poems in Russian from the soviet books for children, worked out into new short and abstract, but complete texts.
