Erutan



Erutan (real name, Kate Covington, also known by her internet name katethegreat19), is a singer/songwriter who has made several unofficial vocal arrangements of themes from the music of the Final Fantasy series.

Erutan performs and arranges her work all by herself, able to play the violin, the piano, the lyre, the guitar, several types of drums and an array of other musical instruments. If the theme she covers lacks lyrics, she writes them herself, keeping carefully in mind the mood and atmosphere of the tune. Her equipment includes a simple vocal microphone, a closet (as her "dead room", which she had recently renovated to become a sound-proof recording studio) and the Sony Vegas Pro video & audio software to mix her tracks. Kate has never received any sort of vocal training, but is a trained professional violinist which she claims helps her pick up other instruments more easily.

Erutan released her first original album titled Raindancer on November 22nd 2010 on her Official Website. Her second album, A Bard's Sidequest was released as an iTunes-exclusive on January 19th 2013. The album featured most of her Final Fantasy covers as licensed, studio-mastered tracks, besides a selection of other tracks featured in different video games.
