Kwami Winfield
Sound collaborator

Kwami Winfield is an artist from Jersey City, NJ, currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Her work in sound attempts to emphasize the changeable nature of musical instruments through extended technique and exploration. Dial draws a line connecting possible sonic expressions back to the instrument via the body, betraying the intended use of instrument parts. She adds amplification to brass instruments that themselves amplify the micro-movements of the mouth and cavities within the body, approaching near-trance consciousness in performance and practice to project herself outside of a body. The body extends into the sound, within melodic and rhythmic incantations that imply a trajectory not influenced by parts, pieces, or internal chemistry.
