BIO:

Catharsiss is an experimental noise outfit, based in Tampa, Florida and is comprised of husband and wife, Keith and Susan S.



Keith started Catharsiss in early 2001 as a solo studio only project, centering on the manipulation, and restructuring of white noise, creating hidden patterns and binural beats, layered within the white noise.



Following the release of the Catharsiss - "Let There be Emptyness part 1" and Catharsiss - "Promo Sampler 1" MCD-rs, Keith met Susan in 2003 and they soon began collaborating, releasing a series of rough mix samplers (Sampler 2, Sampler 3, Sampler 4) culminating in their debut, "Screaming at Shadows".



It was during the recording of "Screaming..." that Catharsiss was contacted by local noise artist, Travis Morgan, about performing live, thus Catharsiss began their first of a series of occasional live performances, on Jan 1 2005.

Playing alongside such acts as:

Experiment Haywire, noWhere, ser aph and Mike Browning (Nocturnus),

their 10 minute set, combining keyboards, acoustic guitar, white noise and spoken word was well received.



In March 2005, they performed their second live set alongside Brookhaven and Realicide.



2005 also saw the release of their full length debut, Screaming at Shadows, as well as their relocating to Woodstock, NY.



While in Woodstock, Catharsiss recorded their second full length, Strangled in Apathy and Began work on the infamous "Bricks and Cogs" project, their reconstructive white noise remixing of the music of Pink Floyd.



May 2006 saw Catharsiss' return to Tampa, with a one-off live show with As All Die, Diva Destruction, noWhere and Manmilk.

Their intense live show floored the unsuspecting audience, and cemented Catharsiss' return to the Tampa noise scene.



The remainder of 2006, into 2007 was spent working Bricks and Cogs, as well as their third full length, Netherplace: Bisecting the Duality.



2007 also saw the return of Catharsiss to the stage, with their performance at the Tampa Noise festival, sharing the stage with acts such as Otalathe, Hal MaGee, Hunkerdown Roy and many, many more.



Their 17 minute set showcased their introduction of various organic elements into their set, utilizing anything from pots and pans to hair brushes.



In the fall of 2007, they also released a 3 track ep, debuting the first track from Bricks and Cogs, Echoes in Pink (Layered in White).



Late 2007 also brought about the much anticipated collaboration between them and Deconstructive Screwdriver Criticism of New York, for "war AND peace", to be released in 2008.



March 2008 saw Catharsiss returning to the stage, once gain, at the St Pete Noise fest, held at Cafe Bohemia, joining acts such as Hal MaGee, Insect Lobotomy and Clang Quartet..

Neglecting to bring their backing track discs, Catharsiss opted to play an impromtu reworking of Echoes in Pink, as an ambient/drone piece, utilizing their requisite "keyboard/guitar meets household instruments" approach.

Following their set, Catharsiss was asked by the fest's promoter, Ron (SPIN) if they would perform all 3 days at the 2nd Annual Tampa Noise fest, which they consented to do.



Their 3 day performance (June 6-8) was a one-off theatrical performance of "war AND peace", with one part being performed each day.



From it's humble beginnings in white noise manipulation, Catharsiss has since evolved into an advantgarde combination of electronic and organic noise combined with spoken word, as well as theater.



Each release, each track, each set a different journey...

a different chapter...

but all are Catharsiss.
