Kyoko Kitamura is a vocal improviser and composer residing in Brooklyn. She does weird things with her voice and is often a side-person for various amazing musicians. Her own songs have mildly disturbing content which may stem from her experience as a one-time war reporter. She was also a Garfield comics translator in Japan.
Most recently, she can be heard on Anthony Braxton’s first ever studio-recorded opera “Trillium E” and her new solo release “Armadillo In Sunset Park.“
