discography
Katzenmusik
© A Cat & Me, 2015-2025Mix 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.
Oscillator Alligator
Instrumental Electro, Oct 2017Instrumental electronic album inspired by the genre's pioneers Jean-Michel Jarre and Vangelis. Some influences of early computer game music can be heard as well.
See the Signs
Synthpop/rock, 2011Mixture of electronic pop and some progressive elements. Lyrics deal with dementia, nuclear meltdown, forced marriage, child abuse and suicide - with a fair sense of sarcasm.
Dog And Tree

The Pied Piper

Thousand Dreams

Pictures of an Extinction
Piano Suite, 2008/2016Reflects the destruction of earth by mankind. The pieces mostly depict environmental catastrophies. As in Mussorgsky's "Pictures at an exhibition" between these main pieces there is one theme reoccurring in variations. Here it represents nature, changing, suffering.
Piano Sonatas
Markus Behlau 2000-20155 sonatas. All in all 15 movements. Sonata No. 1,2 & 4 in classical style evolving from Mozart to Beethoven, No.3 more like Prokofiev or Shostakovich, No.5 somwhere in between
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
Opera, 20071st act of an opera stylisticly somewhere between Wagner and Humperdinck. This is just a demo, of course. All male and female parts are sung by the composer... :-)
C-64 revisited
chiptunes remixed & remastered, 2009New stereo-mix with a little bit of eq and reverb.
