"Sons Nouveaux " - Live at Brooklyn Academy of Music.



Yoon grew up in the United States outside Chicago, Illinois. A graduate of Ithaca College’s Conservatory of Music and creative writing program, she is classically trained in the school of studied thought and improvisational sciences, with a first love of choral music.

Yoon's eclectic musical style uses unconventional sources (everyday found objects, chamber instruments and digital devices) to generate music.

She explores where sound connects to the subliminal through the timbre languages offered in the voice, violin (now viola), water, ancient Tibetan singing bowls, cell phones, music boxes, glockenspiel, guitar, walkie talkies, metronomes, shortwave radios, kitchenware, found sounds, and electronics.
