Konzert: Catarina Palazzi "ZALESKA" | Versta (Roberto Dossi, Alessandro D’Arcangeli)

Caterina Palazzi “ZALESKA” psychedelic/hypnotic solo performance on Dracula

CONCEPT Leader of Italian band Sudoku Killer, Caterina Palazzi currently introduces ZALESKA, a dark, more intimate and hypnotic project, in which melodic lines are mixed with dissonant and noisy moments, creating a sort of lonely funeral orchestra. Every musical composition is inspired by an actor who has impersonated Dracula’s character in movies. The show is conceived not as a normal concert but as an interactive performance, which spectators live an experience of tension and catharsis. Zaleska is the illegitimate daughter of voivoda Vlad Țepeș III, well know as Drăculea.Caterina Palazzi From 2007 she’s leader and composer of italian band Sudoku Killer, well known in jazz, psychedelic, noise and experimental scene, which released the albums Sudoku Killer (ZdM, 2010), Infanticide (Auand Records, 2015), Asperger (Clean Feed, 2018) and which she played over 700 concerts in all Europe.

Versta are an electronic/ambient/psychedelic duo from Rome. They are Roberto Dossi and Alessandro D’Arcangeli. The name Versta comes from an old russian measured unity, it’s about 1066,52 metres and it literally means “this is a real step” (from russian “verstovoy”). They formed in 2020 and in 2024 have published their first album “Trip Corners” out for the label “Light Item”. You can imagine a “Trip Corners” as a place where physical experiences and mental perceptions meet each other. They play analogical and digital synths, drum machines, electric guitar and tenor sax in an immersive A / V (GEORG, IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PROJECTOR YOU CAN REMOVE “A / V”) show.
