"...operatic and intense, genre-scrambling and iconoclastic...confessional, poetic, smart and different?. A cut or three above the rest."
-- NOISE Art Mag

Bora Yoon is a phonating multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and audiophile with a twisted musical identity that spans the classical, avant-garde, electronic, folk, jazz, and sound design realms, garnering awards from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and Billboard, Arion Music Awards, and a music video broadcast on MTV Networks. With an artillery of skills on the piano, electric violin, guitar, she siphons instrumental nuances into the vocal medium enhanced w/ live samples and loops, making her NYC's late night go-to girl for musical architecture for collaborators and composers of the genre gamut. Her penchant for the iconoclastic has led to work with Meredith Monk & Vocal Ensemble members, multimedia artist Emile Bennett (DCA, STEIM) to create generative vocal music with original software design, live collaborations on voice and electric violin with media philosopher DJ Spooky, and live experimental sound design for NY Fringe. Operatic and iconoclastic, she's toured festivals and venues nationally and internationally with her original songwriting, premiered new music with emerging and distinguished composers, played benefits for Amnesty International, and prepares scores for various artists in the NYC area, including Meredith Monk's Basket, performed by the Western Wind this January.

Upcoming projects include multimedia poetry performances with American Harlem-born poet Sekou Sundiata and the 51st (dream) state, tour dates with DJ Spooky and Subliminal Strings, a site-specific sound installation at the McCarren Park Pool, a film score for feature Killing Mr. Right (AprilFilms), and experimental collaborations with various artists for press and the stage for 2006.


BITCH

Bitch Bitch

www.bitchmusic.com

Armed with an electric violin, a ukulele and a bass guitar, Bitch (formerly of Bitch and Animal), is on the road and rampage again with a fistful of new songs from her upcoming debut solo release, Make this/Break this. She is an entertainer and songwriter who has pulled audiences to their feet worldwide with her politically charged and personally wrenched lyrics, her atypical instrumentation, minimalist sound and wildly dramatic stage persona.

Her former band, Bitch and Animal, released three albums together. Their first album, What's that Smell?, was released on their own label, and quickly caught the ear of Ani Difranco. Ani co-produced and released their second album, Eternally Hard, on her own Righteous Babe Records. Robert Hilburn of the LA TImes voted it one of the top ten albums of the year in 2001. Their third album, Sour Juice and Rhyme (also on RBR), was produced by June Millington and got them nominated for album of the year by the GLAAD Media awards, along with Rufus Wainwright, Peaches, and Me'shell Ndegeocello.

Bitch has toured all over the world and has been featured in Spin, The Advocate, The Village Voice, Playboy, Girlfriends, and many other publications. Setting out on a new solo road, Bitch is following her vision of making music that is symphonic, beatworthy, break your heart balladry, and raise the roof revolutionary.
