Caterina De Nicola
Solo
staccato rhythms and noise
2024 - Jazz Chur - Kulturgarage OKRO, Chur GR
Caterina De Nicola (*1991) is a visual artist and musician born in Ortona (Italy) and based in Zurich. Her music production draws inspiration from diverse sub-genres of noise music, and it is characterized by fast and violent staccato rhythms that push the boundaries of «no-fi aesthetics» to their extreme. Embracing the term «no-fi» as a deliberate lack of fidelity, her approach transcends the conventional perception of noise, creating a space where elements considered wrong become choices. Rejecting conventional professionalism, she fosters a place for sonic abstraction and tangible, physically noisy experiences, allowing individuals to engage with the space on their own terms. As a music producer and event organizer, she plays a role in galvanizing Zurich's local noise and experimental music scene, co-curating the dynamic series of noise and experimental concerts called «Malatang» together with Zurich based musician Miao Zhao.
