Katery Tries To Unite Two Worlds

The L.A. singer-songwriter shares the first chapter from her upcoming SF rock opera.

Katery takes aim against the common enemy of Two Worlds in her thought-provoking electro-pop single and futuristic new video — showcasing today on Tinnitist.

War and other forms of conflicts are rooted in the belief that we are different from the people on that side of the line. But on her latest release, the Mexican-born, L.A.-based musician and actress suggests we’re not all as different as we’re led to believe:

“Who is this person in front of me?
Are we really two different worlds?
Who is the real big enemy?
Is it you? Or who put us to fight?”

“I invite us to start questioning ourselves,” Katery said. “Question yourself if you and I are really different worlds, are we really so different? Who are YOU and what are we fighting for? You who fight against me are from two different worlds, or that’s what they told us? Do you really believe it?”

Two Worlds is the first chapter in Katery’s first rock-electropop opera Undoubtedly Intertwined. The story is set in a dystopian science fiction future where five cyborgs are programmed to collect information from post-apocalyptic planets — including Earth — to analyze what caused the end of these civilizations. Ky, one of the cyborgs, is the focal point of the lore, evolving and awakening as its experiences mount.

Two Worlds was selected as the first on the project to promote the internal questioning Katery wants for her listeners. “I wrote this story because I believe it’s one way of describing how I see the world,” she explained. “One of the solutions that I see to live in harmony is to be more empathetic and understand that we are the same, we are exactly the same being, only expressed in different consciences, with different perspectives.”

It’s only when we consider these nuances, or lack thereof, that we can achieve a deeper connection with our fellow humans and find a greater peace in this world. “I want us to be able to translate to a different scale where we can question why our decisions are made, what are the consequences after I do this, who am I becoming when I make this decision, big or small, which is what am I giving to others?” she explained. “What am I going to become when I do?”

Undoubtedly Intertwined is Katery’s third musical project, following the 2021 EPs Muses and Muses II. Since moving to Los Angeles in 2019, she has acted in Apple TV’s Acapulco, Mauricio Ochmann’s short film Diaz, Indigo Bates’ short film Que Falta, and a handful of other productions and music videos. She has also written, directed, and edited music videos, digital commercials and short films.

“My hunger for knowledge and creation have made me travel to various countries and learn different cultures,” she said. “My need to explain the world made me write this science fiction story to explain what I perceive of life and to teach us more about empathy, forgiveness, and compassion of humanity by understanding that we are a mirror of each other.”
