14 Years Ago: Accordion Addict – Australia, January 2002by Rob Howard |
 The Accordions Worldwide News for January 25th 2002 included an item about Cathie Travers, a pianist turned accordionist whose enthusiasm for our favorite instrument knows no bounds. Since 2002 Cathie Travers’ innovative work on the accordion has continued unabated, with videos, recordings, concerts and international travel. The article of 2002 was written by well known accordionist/composer Peter Piccini who sadly passed away in 2011. Obituary at: http://www.accordions.com/news.aspx?d=14-Oct-2011&lang=en#art4857 Accordion Addict – Australia Contributed by Peter Piccini Cathie Travers has become an "accordion addict" from the West Coast of Australia. After 25 years in the business as a pianist and electronics specialist Cathie has taken to exploring the fertile land of the accordion. Her music draws from a stylistically broad spectrum including modernist art music as well as world music traditions, avant-rock, nuevo tango and German 1930's cabaret. Cathie is currently working on a new CD, ‘Avant-Grass’ (due for release in March), which will include a variety of other keyboard instruments and electronic soundscapes. Cathie is also in the studio finishing a film sound track that features a quirky kitchen - tango for accordion and (occasional) steam kettle! |
