Cat Hall / DISSONANCE began in the early 90's as part of the Texas synthpop scene, playing live at Dallas venues such as the Lizard Lounge, Curtain Club, Galaxy Club, Trees, and Arcadia. Cat’s vocals have been described as a “siren song”, “compelling”, and “angelic”, layering several harmonies and textures in a unique manner. DISSONANCE caught the ear of Paul Robb (Information Society), who was forming his label Hakatak International, and was signed in 1996. Her first self-titled release Dissonance, produced by Robb, came out in 1997.
The style was edgy electronica/darkwave, tinged with an industrial sound, with Cat's distinctively layered vocals. 1998 saw Cat working with Paul Robb on a more aggressive solo project.
Cat has collaborated with eH on a few titles, bringing her amazing voice and ideas to the music.
