Catastrophy
© A Cat & Me, 2015-20XXMix Suzanne Vega with Depeche Mode and add a little bit of Nena. That's the best way to describe A Cat & Me, the co-production of Kathrin Gerke as singer-songwriter and Markus Behlau as arranger.

Pictures of an Extinction

Symphony No.1
in G Major, 2005/2023Deep, dark, dissonant and confusing symphony influenced by Shostakovich and Prokofiev. You will definetely need some time, to get into it. But I promise, it is all worthwhile.
Symphony No.2
in C Minor, 2009Also dramatic, but a lot more straightforward and classical oriented than the first symphony. Mostly inspired by Beethoven's Eroica.
Symphony No.3
in F Minor, 2022Now, with the virtual instruments by Orchestral Tools my orchestra sounds more realistic than ever.
TogoT Act 1
