I’m Karen González, working under Pi XPRNC. Catalia is the part of me that writes—the hermit, mystic, and philosopher behind the transmissions—where listening becomes language.

My practice is built around deep listening—small rituals where sound becomes a kind of meditation. I make transmissions that explore the vacuum: śūnyatā, emptiness, and the charged space between notes. What interests me most isn’t volume or spectacle, but attention—texture, silence, and the moment where perception shifts.

Guitar and voice are my primary sources. I bend them through pedals, Eurorack modular, and analog processes until they blur into new atmospheres: minimal, cinematic, luminous—sometimes carrying a quiet dystopian edge. I’m drawn to fragments and liminal forms rather than conventional song structures, letting each piece unfold as an offering rather than a product.

Beyond audio, I create mixed-media relics and sonic sculptures—physical artifacts that hold the same intention as the music: memory as material, sound as devotion. Influenced by philosophical inquiry—especially Buddhist notions of emptiness—this work is an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and meet what’s here without forcing a conclusion.
