Release Biography
Katherine de Rosset is an artist; writing, recording and producing in whatever space she inhabits at that moment. Her process is a journey of retrieval, of bringing life to dreams, and guidance from deep inner spaces. It is the work of non-linear healing, of traveling towards the center and transforming darkness into light.
In the fall of 2018, Katherine de Rosset moved from her home in Portland, OR to Los Angeles, CA. After being in LA for one month with her sister and partner, they learned that the house where they lived was being sold and they had a month to find someplace new. It was an uncertainty that was hard to face after having just settled in. These two months in LA were when a massive clearing began. Sparks that turned to flame, changing de Rosset's inner landscape forever. She turned to meditation, tarot and her music for guidance, centering and healing. It wasn't until six days before their move-out date that de Rosset's destination came to her in a quiet moment: Austin, TX. In less than a week she had a place to live, a rented car, and a plan to leave her sister and partner and embark on an independent soul-centered journey.
It is here, in Austin, where Katherine de Rosset has done the deepest healing. In place of the burnt remains of her old structure grew a beautiful wilderness. Lush, free and true. She reconnected with nature, finding strength, stability, and a chance to breathe deeply with a wise tree. She looked into the water within when she sat by the creek and noticed how everything is ever changing and transforming. Even when it looks still, there is movement. There is joy in impermanence.
Now when she returns, she can sense the knowing that has always been there, weaving golden threads through the past while holding her in the present, a graceful guiding light along the path. She hears each word come through as a soft inner voice, echoing out from the dark chambers within. 'The Tower' is the force that clears what is no longer able to stay, it's a turning point. And within that clearing is sacred ground for the journey of coming home to oneself.
‘The Tower’ was self-released digitally on August 28, 2020 and in 2021 on limited edition standard black 12” vinyl. On March 5, 2021 Furious Hooves released it on limited edition cassette tape.
Katherine de Rosset has also released music previously as Pat Moon.
