Michelle Yom is a flutist and composer known for her innovative technique, unique vocabulary, and penchant for improvising. She is dedicated to expanding the range of musical expression through extended technique, improvisation, and electro-acoustic sound environment. She received an M.A. in music from New York University in 2006 and has been creating experimental music since.
In 2009, Doggebi, a drum/flute improv duo collaboration with SPIKE the Percussionist led to the release of Penetralia of the Moment (Noiz Temple Records), a full length album that depicts sections of Thomas Pynchon’s Gravity’s Rainbow. In 2010, a residency with Labotanica led to Back To Imagined Spaces, an installation that explores the relationship between spirituality and human physiological perception. What Is Now, an audience participatory video installation that explores the malleable nature of human time perception, was exhibited at The Foundry in 2010 Art Crawl.
As a collaborative performer, Yom has performed in sound series They Who Sound, Resonant Interval, and Nameless Sound, as well as with CoRE Suspension Troop, Texas Dance Improvisation Festival 2010, and Parallel Universe Art Exhibition 2011. She has performed in Korea, France, Italy, and has extensively toured Australia and New Zealand.
