Using a vast array of sounds, authentic or transformed through distortion and other effects, for her debut album, Extrametric, Ernst developed a collection of rhythmic layers that she produced through a series of studies. And this means both investment in abstract and liquefied compositions, and the approach to recognizable patterns and structures, in such an extraordinary display of the creative possibilities of a drum and percussion solo that it is hard to believe that, on stage or on record, Katharina Ernst is, in fact, playing alone.
