Sound designer and music producer <en>Katie Gately</en> is currently living in Los Angeles, CA. With a unique blend of experimental soundscapes and electronic beats, she has established herself as a rising star in the music industry. Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as Kate NV, Klara Lewis, and Desire Marea, her music captivates listeners with its innovative approach.

Known for her ability to create immersive sonic experiences, <en>Katie Gately</en> pushes the boundaries of traditional music production. Her compositions are characterized by intricate layers of sound that transport listeners to otherworldly realms. By seamlessly blending organic and synthetic elements, she creates a mesmerizing auditory journey that defies genre conventions.

<en>Katie Gately's</en> work has garnered critical acclaim for its bold experimentation and meticulous attention to detail. Her collaborations with fellow musicians like Lia Kohl and Marlene Ribeiro have resulted in captivating performances that showcase her versatility as an artist. Whether it's through haunting melodies or pulsating rhythms, she consistently delivers an immersive musical experience that leaves audiences wanting more.

Following remix work for Björk and Zola Jesus, productions for serpentwithfeet, and her debut album on Tri-Angle, American experimental musician and producer Katie Gately moves to Houndstooth for her sophomore album Loom, dedicated to her mother, who passed away in 2018. “My mother’s voice is in this record, her picture’s in the sleevenotes. This record is for her” says Katie. To solidify the enormity of a loss like this, Gately has added the seismic rumble and aural grit of real earthquake recordings in her productions – alongside her signature adventurous sound design and earwormy melodies – to signify how grief like this is like the shifting of the earth. “I felt like my world was being shaken,” says Katie. “I was losing the person who created me, and it seemed an appropriate time to sample earthquakes.” As well as earthquake sounds, Loom includes more samples, chosen for their associative power, peacocks screaming, pill bottles shaking, a coffin closing, wolves howling, a shovel digging, a paper shredder, stone grinding and heavily processed audio from her parent’s wedding. Where her debut album Color, (2016) deployed fractured rhythms, fierce licks, bold samples and her signature paintbox pop hooks, Loom reveals crepuscular textures. Her voice is more forward in the mix, often densely layered in choral laments above a coarse foundation of hard and brittle sound design, the latter of which is rooted in her film school training.
