KITTY BRAZELTON

the music I make

Still working. The latest is harvesting STORM singers’ “t”s for the rain, “s”s for the hiss of the wind , “m”s for its howl…

Planning to mix in internet-accessible immersive audio. You will listen from INSIDE the choir!

“impressive nerve ... a pop-operatic pow ... orchestrated like Kate Bush kickin’ it with the Mingus Big Band.”
— David Fricke, Rolling Stone
“Brazelton is a dynamo on stage.”
— The New York Times
“brilliant, boisterous and quintessentially downtown...”
— Mark Swed, Los Angeles Times
“Few composers are as uninhibited in saying exactly what they want to say...”
— Ken Smith, Gramophone
“...through sheer will and implied sexuality… Brazelton wrote herself into the score... the cohesion of the music comes from her expression of then and now.
— Daniel Webster, The Philadelphia Inquirer
“brilliant sonic palettes... passionate vocals and her edgy, yearning delivery... urgency and allure.”
— Dan Ouellette, Schwann Guide
“you might wonder how someone’s musical appetite can be quite so voracious... Hard to resist.
— Andy Hamilton, THE WIRE
“What Is It Like To Be A Bat” is a hellacious squall of sound that is never boring and wholly original… like the soundtrack [to] a pending Armageddon.
— Mitchell J. Ryan, Boston Herald
“[Brazelton] isn’t interested in cheap irony or vain attempts at hipness... she’s stylistically inclusive because she simply wants to make interesting and original sounds.”
— Danny Felsenfeld, Time Out New York
“Vocalist/composer/educator Kitty Brazelton is a true musical renaissance woman.”
— Glenn Astarita, AllMusic Guide
“...rips the entire postscript that is postmodern rock to the ground... Brilliant and dangerous...
— Thom Jurek, AllMusicGuide
