About Okkyung Lee

Korean native Okkyung Lee began her career as an experimental cellist with classical training, eventually expanding into fields of improvisation, noise, jazz, and extended technique. Lee has collaborated with many of the bigger names in the noise and experimental improvisation scenes, including performances and recording dates with stand-out artists like Nels Cline, Ikue Mori, Laurie Anderson, and John Zorn. While solo releases such as Ghil (2013) capture the chaotic aggression of her performances, she has also composed more delicate, reflective chamber works such as 2020's Yeo-Neun.
