Friend is a decade of K’s work; a lifelong body of intuitive music making, delivering a more precise and controlled sound, with versions of songs shifting into focus like recovered memories. Feeling her way through textures, a return to an intimacy and clarity of voice with a melding of refined technique, these soundscapes lay down a framework over time that traces the history of her practice.

james K’s wide body of music includes 2013’s debut Rum EP, PET (She Rocks!/Dial), Random Girl (Incienso), lullaby Scorpio (AD 93). james K has collaborated with artists Moin, Fergus Jones + Huerco S., Priori, Yves Tumor, Drew McDowall, LEYA, and others.

Based in New York, where she was born and has lived most of her life, despite this, the ecology spans across geographical. she draws from in her international performances, including Dekmantel, Sustain Release, Mutek, iii Points, and more. She has also shared stages with James Ferraro, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Morton Subotnick, Nick Leon, Arushi Jain, Malibu, and Priori, among others.
