Upper Glossa
Upper Glossa is the group consisting of Caterina Barbieri and Kali Malone. This new project debuted at Berlin’s Atonal 2016 to massively positive critical acclaim, with The Wire picking out the performance as a festival highlight and describing it as “a trip deep within the mothership — hypnotic and beautifully disorientating.”
Working between abstract composition, synthesis and sound design, Upper Glossa delivers music inspired by additive patterns, canon and overtone-centered harmony. It’s vigorous and minimalist dexterity exudes a severe and tragic sound hailing from the Pythagorean region of the harmonic spectrum.
