A quick-and-dirty recording of some dual vocal processors in action... simultaneously playing an Alesis Micron vocoder through a Moog MF-101 Low Pass Filter (controlled by an expression pedal) and a TC Helicon Voiceworks controlled by a MIDI keyboard. Background is Moog Voyager and Little Phatty, Yamaha MO8 and Korg MicroX (both non-Moog run through MF-101s)

BIO
Kathy Raimey - Composer, Artist, Producer.  
"Classical Pianist ReWired..."
 
As a classically trained pianist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer, Kathy Raimey produces music that doesn't easily fit into just one category. Possible descriptions might include "ambient reflective new age", "organic electroacoustic experimental", or "music for film", or depending on what day it is...all, some, or none of the above!

There is one constant woven throughout all the music, however, and that is the underlying thread of Kathy's interest in exploring music's effect as an agent of healing, and the power of the creative process as manifested through improvisation.

At the age of 13, she began playing as a church organist, and has worked as a music educator and musician in various locations including Cincinnati, Ohio; Vienna, Austria; Atlanta, Georgia; and Raleigh, NC.

Holding degrees in Piano Performance from the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and Furman University, in addition to further study in Vienna, Austria, Kathy's main teachers included; Maria Regina Seidlhofer, David Bar-Illan, Jeanne Kirstein, Ruby Morgan, and John Noel Roberts. Additionally, she studied with chamber ensemble coach, Lee Fizer, of the LaSalle Quartet, and jazz pianist, Ted Howe.

As Director of Music at Midtown Spiritual Community in Atlanta from July 2001 to April 2004, Kathy attracted a loyal following of listeners with her live improvisations of contemplative music for meditation.

Kathy Raimey's latest release, "Still Moving", was released October 11, 2011.  It is an eclectic tapestry of ambient texture, melodic reflection, birdsong, and genre bending rhythmic motion. Collaborative artist and writer, Jan Pulsford, appears on three of the tracks, along with the mockingbird who sang outside her window. It reached the Top 10 in November at #7, and has received great feedback within the ambient electronic music world. 

Kathy Raimey's 2007 CD release, "It Is Always Now", chosen as an Editor's Pick in the New Age: Progressive Alternative category at CD Baby has received great reviews from New Age Reporter's Bill Binkelman and RJ Lannan.

"Delightfully different...Raimey expertly merges her electronica/ambient side with her softly melancholic New Age side... solidly recommended." - Bill Binkelman.

"Kathy Raimey offers not just a solo piano album, but a recording filled with ambient tracks that include electronica, voices and ethnic instruments. Put it all together and you get a sound that is out of the ordinary, inspiring and very entertaining. "It is Always Now" has music that is quietly beautiful, soulful and always emotional." - RJ Lannan.
