then, there, that corner... sylvie courvoisier - piano cornelius dufallo - violin alex waterman - cello trevor dunn - bass peter evans - trumpets ned rothenberg - bass clarinet david shively - percussion satoshi takeishi - percussion/electronics dj olive - turntables inspired by rain, empty streets, 2 (korean) dead singers, memory, dawn, duke jordan, home and goodbyes... and everything between now and memories that can translate into sounds... A native of Korea, Okkyung Lee has been developing her own voice in contemporary cello performance, improvisation and composition. Using her solid classical training as a springboard, she incorporates jazz, sounds, korean traditional music, and noise with extended techniques to create her unique blend of music. Okkyung has released her debut album, Nihm on Tzadik; a duo recording with Christian Marclay on My Cat is an Alien label's split LP series; and a solo cello album I saw the Ghost of an Unknown Soul and it Said... to be released on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label in 2007.
