ritsu katsumata | electric violinist | composer | multimedia artist

I compose and perform music for 5-string electric violin and digital sequencing. I have a solid-body violin made by Eric Jensen in Seattle Washington, and a hollow-bodied instrument by Eric Aceto of Trumansburg, New York.

For sound processing, I use the Gibson Echoplex Digital Pro, TC Electronic G-Force and a Tech 21 SansAmp GT2. My other tools include a Roland FC-200 midi foot controller, a Mackie 1202 VLZ Pro and the Zeta Synthony II Midi Controller.
