Kathy McTavish

I am a composer/cellist. Trained classically, I now employ a broader textural and pitch landscape. I use a full range of sound from the cello's deep resonance to its ghostlike harmonic voice. In both live performance and recorded work, I often blend cello, found sound, electronic effects and abstract, layered, still-motion film. As a composer I am inspired by emergent, organic forms, beat poets and abstract expressionist art. I use chance and generative forms to create sparse, minimalist spaces to dense, orchestral landscapes. My work has been used behind spoken word, theater, visual art/sound installations, and film.
