Katt Hernandez plays violin with a hand and eye versed in the vagaries of natural sound. A student of microtonal music, she is also steeped in European folk traditions, and skilled in classical forms of improvisation. While her work goes in many directions, it stays sharp and swift and supple.



She is equally adept in all modes of musical reasoning. Whether alone or in ensemble, she wraps her mind around her improvised, atonal melodies and anti-melodies, on the fly, always keeping course throughout performance, never failing to set wheels down before she lands.

AAJ Contributor Gordon Marshall spoke with Hernandez about her recent duet record with Steve Norton, Modern Antique (Means of Production, 2010), and finding her own way translate the colors and lines she sees in the air into more tangible sounds on her instrument.
