KYOKO KITAMURA is a vocal improviser and composer who has performed and/or recorded with many distinguished musicians including Anthony Braxton, Reggie Workman, Jay Clayton, Steve Coleman, Jim Staley, and Taylor Ho Bynum. Mostly recently, she appears on two Anthony Braxton albums, the opera "Trillium E" (New Braxton House 2011) and the "Syntactical GTM Choir (NYC) 2011" (New Braxton House 2012). Also known for her interdisciplinary projects, she released her first solo album "Armadillo In Sunset Park" (KK 2011) last year, a collection of songs written for Mark Lamb Dance. Kitamura has garnered critical praise for her “great vocal range, veering from wordless vocalese to near operatic feats” (AllAboutJazz) and her “smoky alto that at turns belongs to a children’s storyteller, slam poet or blues singer” (New York City Jazz Record), with All Music Guide describing her as “an expressive vocalist who knows how to be quirky and eccentric but is also quite musical.” www.kyokokitamura.com

MICHAEL LYTLE (aka elewhale), MA, University of Iowa, has been a New Music Improviser since 1968. He has performed with William Parsons, Karl Berger, George Cartwright, Garrett List, David Moss, John Zorn, Nick Didkovsky, Hans Burgener, Martin Schutz, Gerry Hemingway, Mark Dresser, Eyal Maoz, Mari Kimura, Robert Dick and has been involved in over 30 recordings since the 5* rated Iowa Ear Music of 1976. In solo and projects with Karl Berger and Hans Burgener, as a member of Nick Didkovsky's band "Dr. Nerve" and a co-founder with Didkovsky & Hemingway of "Swim This", he has played in festivals and venues all over the world. An early Electronic Music composer, Lytle invented the set of totally unique methods of clarinet family sonic modulation and performance, called the “most radical of his generation” by Joachim Berendt. www.elewhale.net

ROBERT DICK – “A flutist whose technical resources and imagination seem limitless.” – New York Times. With deep roots in free improvisation, new jazz and classical music old and new, Robert Dick has established himself as an artist who has redefined the flute. He has utterly dispensed with preconceptions about what a flutist should sound like and what a flutist should play. He treats the flute as a human-powered synthesizer, his music going wherever his imagination and boundless chops flow to at any moment. Dick’s newest recording is “Flutes and Voices”, dous with baritone Thomas Buckner (Mutable Music17541-2). Dick has numerous solo recordings and has performed and recorded with New Winds, Tambastics, Oscura Luminosa, the Soldier String Quartet, the A.D.D. Trio, Paul Giger and Satoshi Takeishi, Jaron Lanier, Randy Raine-Reush and Barry Guy, Mari Kimura, Steve Gorn and many more of Europe and America's finest improvisors. Robert Dick (MM, Yale University) lives in New York City and teaches at NYU and the City University of NY Graduate Center. www.robertdick.net

REUBEN RADDING grew up in Washington DC, and moved to NYC in 1988 where he studied with Mark Dresser and quickly became a stalwart of the downtown scene, working in the ensembles of Elliott Sharp, Marc Ribot, John Zorn, Dave Douglas, Anthony Coleman, and many others. As a sideman he has contributed his distinctive sound to countless projects, and nearly 100 CD's. His greatest devotion has been to the practice of free improvisation, working alongside many of yesterday and today's most vital spontaneous musicians, including Jack Wright, Denman Maroney, Wally Shoup, Nate Wooley, Wade Matthews, Andrew Drury, Daniel Carter, Mary Halvorson, and Ned Rothenberg. He is a member of the Yoni Kretzmer 2Bass Quartet, Sean Moran's Small Elephant, and the Denman Maroney Quintet. Radding also maintains a career as an audio engineer, and is an award-winning photographer. www.reubenradding.com

KATHLEEN SUPOVE is one of America's most acclaimed and versatile contemporary music pianists, known for continually redefining what a pianist/keyboardist/performance artist is, in today's world. Ms. Supové annually presents a series of solo concerts entitled THE EXPLODING PIANO. In this series, she has performed and premiered works by countless established as well as emerging composers. She has also performed with LEMUR musical robots and SIDEBAND, the Princeton Laptop Orchestra. In May, 2012, she received the John Cage Award from ASCAP for “the artistry and passion with which she performs, commissions, records, and champions the music of our time.” For more info, visit www.supove.com or follow www.facebook.com/pages/explodingpiano or @supove.
