At its core, Scatbook is a “scat” in the literal sense—a rapid, improvisational burst of sound, rhythm, and linguistic play. The title’s date stamp (21 07 04) marks the day the manuscript was first performed live in a downtown loft, a performance that was later transcribed, annotated, and bound into the printed edition we now hold.
The book is divided into three loosely connected “movements,” each echoing the structure of a jazz suite:
| Movement | Title | Core Motif | |----------|-------|------------| | I | Pulse | The heartbeat of urban life, rendered in staccato fragments and onomatopoeic bursts. | | II | Echo | A dialogic exchange where Kaitlyn’s clipped consonants bounce off Gia’s melodic vowels. | | III | Resolution | A gradual decrescendo that morphs into a whispered epilogue, leaving the page humming. | scatbook 21 07 04 kaitlyn katsaros gia derza an
Within each movement, pages are arranged like sheet music: bars of text, slashes of illustration, and occasional QR codes that link to audio snippets of the original performance. This multimodal design forces the reader to navigate between visual, textual, and auditory realms.

Whether you leaf through it in silence or let its QR‑linked tracks fill the room, you’ll find yourself caught in the same ecstatic loop that Kaitlyn Katsaros and Gia Derza An first sparked on that July night in 2021.
