It’s not like I haven’t heard a lot of experimental music, but Ratkje’s choices and processing techniques set her apart from pretty much anyone else i can think of. Some of you may have picked up her albums on the Rune Grammofon label, those were a good example of her sound, but on ‘Adventura Anatomica’ she takes it to the next level entirely. Apparently the work was created as the soundtrack to a piece of theatre, the soundtrack to a fairytale world of woods, wolves and witches and surprisingly this comes off pretty effectively. Ratkje’s incessant scrapes and creaks eventually turn into tortured moans and wails before transforming entirely into animal cries and then piercing noise detailing a perfectly realised narrative. Extremely strange music and not for the faint hearted, but very good and very brave indeed.
