I hear many interesting stories from listeners about my music. People tell me stories about the first time they heard the music, how it has affected their lives, what they do while listening, what the music makes them visualize, and more. If you have a comment or story about my music, please share it with us here. It will be posted after I have a chance to moderate it.

This was from Reviewer: Rick Smith

Lush, dreamy ambience the way it was meant to sound…

As an indie radio jock at West Virginia University’s WWVU-FM in the late 1980s, I programmed our six-hour New Age/ambient show for about 18 months, and one of my top picks during that time was “Manatee Dreams of Neptune.” What a trip down memory lane… and what a crushing blow to discover we’ve lost the talented Bob Stohl. Stohl and Kat Epple here deliver a work of remarkable, singular joy: lush, hypnotic, coolly sensual space-synth music, powerfully and organically orchestrated to cut to the bone, alternately sending you soaring and leaving you shuddering in the dark, somewhere out in the backwaters of a Solar System whose beauty exists with or without your attention. Give “Manatee Dreams” your attention — you won’t be sorry.

In 1999, Bob Rauschenberg wrote about Kat:

“I’ve known and worked with Kat Epple since the mid 1980’s. We have shared a variety of joyful, playful, and ultimately serious events ranging from social, party fun to important one-man exhibitions.

They include the premiere of the Rauschenberg early 1960’s silkscreen paintings at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York in 1990; the 7-year ROCI (Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange) tour finale at the National Gallery, Washington, DC in May, 1991; my current Guggengeim retrospective premiere in the New York up-town Museum in September 1997, as well as the fourth retrospective venue premiere at the Bilbao, Spain Guggenheim Museum in November, 1998.

Kat also played last fall at an important New York fund-raising benefit for Change, Inc., my foundation that assists artists in any field who have emergency situations. And, for the last five years, she has done solo performances at the National Gallery receptions for the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation/Lab School of Washington, DC workshops for outstanding teachers of learning disabled students.

Kat made musical history at all of these events. Her sensitivity to people and music turned these moments into creative environments all could share.”
