Caterina Barbieri is an Italian composer. Born Again in the Voltage is her first album since Patterns of Consciousness (2017). It was recorded at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm, Sweden, from August 2014 to August 2015. It consists of four tracks: "Human Developers", "Rendering Intuitions", "How to Decode an Illusion", and "We Access Only a Fraction". Barbieri played the Buchla 200 modular synthesizer, while Antonello Manzo played cello. The album was released on 10 August 2018 through Important Records.
Jonathan Williger of Tiny Mix Tapes wrote, "The four pieces presented here are dynamic, exciting compositions using sustained tones as a starting point for explorations of rhythm, harmony, and timbre." He added, "Without sacrificing any of the notions of eternity conjured by the most enveloping drone music, Barbieri has created an album that is in constant motion and expresses itself in relatively succinct ways." Miles Bowe of Pitchfork called the album "an essential document of contemporary modular-synth music from one of the instrument's great new explorers."
