Shatin’s music is highly chromatic, it has its own personality." We were speaking of her composition for solo flute and electronics, Kairos, a work inspired by Greek mythology.
Shatin sets the words of the great Russian poet in the original language with care, and matches their beauty, tragedy, and mystery with special insight and concision.

 "Shatin Coal"
Although we understand that many of these conditions have been ameliorated through union efforts and government regulation, Shatin's work goes on to refer to current efforts by unions to fight for the jobs of miners threatened by mechanization.
Electronics were used mainly as transitional material: between sections the sharp sound of pick axes striking the coal face was heard leaping rhythmically from right to left speakers.
At one point Shatin took those sounds, and, using a computer language called HACK developed by Pete Yadlowsky at the Virginia Center for Computer Music (which she founded and heads), shaped them gradually into something that sounded almost like a banjo, which briefly echoed a tune we had just heard.
