Yuko Nexus6 Kitamura is a prolific and internationally recognized sound artist who embraces both hi-tech (laptop) and lo-tech (cassette) sound-making methods. Her compelling mixtures of evocative soundscape recordings, cheesy electronic muzak, and harsh noise loops range from cinematic and sublime to hilarious and wacky. Yuko Nexus6 has been the subject of numerous interviews and citations, most recently in David Toop’s historical survey of electronic music, Haunted Weather. In 2003 she received an honorable mention for digital music in Europe’s prestigious Prix Ars Electronica competition with Journal de Tokyo, her third solo album on Sonore Records.
