#Caterina Barbieri Enlists Lyra Pramuk, Kara-Lis Coverdale, and More for New Album, Shares Song: Listen

The Berlin-based, Italian synth composer Caterina Barbieri has pulled together some illustrious guests to rework her song “Fantas” for a new album. Fantas Variations, out April 2 via Editions Mego, features eight rearrangements of the Ecstatic Computation opener, which was originally released in 2019. 

The artists include Kara-Lis Coverdale, Kali Malone, the Nyege Nyege producer Jay Mitta, and—in a vocal piece led by Evelyn Saylor—Lyra Pramuk, Annie Garlid, and Stine Janvin. A press release describes them all as “friends and long time collaborators from a variety of musical backgrounds,” enlisted “to create a more sustainable and inclusive landscape in terms of stylistic, geographical, gender and generational balance.” Check out the full tracklist on Bandcamp, and listen to Bendik Giske’s version for saxophone and voice below.
