Kyoko Kitamura is a vocal improviser residing in New York City. She does weird things with her voice and uses the laptop to make it sound even weirder.

"a major asset...Kitamura is an expressive vocalist who knows how to be quirky and eccentric but is also quite musical." (Alex Henderson - All Music Guide)

"Kitamura's voice is an amazing instrument..." (Richard Kamins - Hartford Courant)

"Kyoko Kitamura is a wonderful storyteller and has a lovely, remarkably flexible voice; she writes from the standpoint of someone who has seen a lot of the world -- she is a former foreign correspondant -- however, she is not "worldly." There is a sense of wonder, awe and innocence in her voice, tempered somewhat by an innate and inscrutable sense of loneliness. " (Uncle Dave Lewis, musicologist)

"an extraordinary experimental/jazz vocalist..." (Downtown Music Gallery)
