This piece was the seed.

Leises Manifest was born only a few days after what I call my “soul birth” – an awakening that felt like a deep remembering rather than a decision or a plan. The ideas had been with me before, but in that moment they became words, urgent and clear.

It is my inner manifesto: not a strategy, but a truth spoken from the place of inner knowing. A call to myself – and maybe to anyone who listens – to hear the quiet voice within, to rise, to walk, and to live what is already inside.

Originally created together with AxAxC, this was the very first piece in sound, before The Quiet Manifesto with Marol carried its spirit into music. It is quieter, more raw, like the root text from which the later song grew.

I share it now as a companion piece – an echo behind the voice, an invitation to remember your own.

If you want to hear how this text later found its way into music, you can listen to The Quiet Manifesto – my collaboration with Marol – here:

Leises Manifest - Source Piece

I am KAT — poet, musician, and catalyst.

I move between silence and voice, between quiet intimacy and bold confrontation.
My art whispers where words cannot, and shouts when truth demands to be loud.

I know what I stand for — with depth, courage, and no apology.
I step forward decisively, ready to be heard.

My vision goes beyond music:
I long for still mornings, for art rooted in nature,
for communities built on resonance, not noise.
I believe healing and creation belong together —
that my own path of rebirth can open space for others.
