Hydrah – Nostos [Acropora]
Electronic producer and vocalist Katie Kramarczuk better known as Hydrah has returned after the success of her first single, “Complete” with the release of her 3-track EP titled, “Nostos” out now. Paying homage to the forces that have catalyzed her artistic creation, “Nostos” elucidates on the emotional evolution and revelations of returning to one’s roots. Her much anticipated EP titled “Nostos” is an ancient Greek theme defined by a homecoming after a long journey significant enough to transform a person, which is fitting as Hydrah returned to her roots in her hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota for her EP.
On an ever evolving journey to explore the harmony between nature and music, the intro for “Return” was arranged with sound samples from Minneapolis’ Boom Island Park, while the single was composed in the seclusion of the North Woods on the shores of Lake Superior in Hydrah’s home state of Minnesota. “Complete” extends the idea of returning home while paying homage to the forces that have catalyzed her artistic creation. Finally, the EP culminates in “Share Your Love” – a reflective response to the current political climate in the country, evoking an empathetic air through the longing vivacity of the violin. Hydrah explores the organic emotion of discovering one’s place in the world and a reconciliation with our soul’s true nature. She will kicking off her EP with a release party at Exchange LA on Friday, November 30th – make sure to RSVP for that here!
