Catlike Episode is a Drone Music studio project drawing on jazz harmony and classical instrumentation. Electric guitar plays extended chords with a clean, rounded tone, brushed drums add soft washes of cymbal, and sampled strings hold the bass note beneath.
Nothing swings in the usual sense: the jazz element lies in the chord colours, while the time feel is suspended and the drums act as texture. The atmosphere is nocturnal, smoky and relaxed. The pieces are more harmonically varied than most drone music and suit late-evening listening at moderate volume.
