Aurora
Josephson is an accomplished musician and visual artist residing
in Oakland, California. Building on a foundation of operatic training
and a BA in Music Performance from Mills College, she has forged a bold
vocal style that is uniquely her own. To unleash the limitless range of
sonic possibilities in the voice, Josephson employs a variety of extended
and unconventional techniques drawn from the worlds of contemporary composition,
improvisation, and rock. She has performed and recorded with international
talents like improvising musicians Martin Blume, Alvin Curran, Gianni
Gebbia, Henry Kaiser, Joelle Leandre, Phillip Wachsmann and William Winant,
musical groups like Big City Orchestra, The Molecules, the Flying Luttenbachers
and the Merce Cunningham Dance Company.
