K-A-B is a composer, producer, vocalist, lyricist, and sound artist from the UK. She combines her skillset to create an original catalogue of music ranging from contemporary, avant-pop songs with vocals, to melodic underscores, to experimental soundscapes. She often creates music from her own field recordings and enjoys experimenting with technology and nature, such as using the electrical energy of organic materials to conduct midi notes via synthesizer. K-A-B’s artistic approach produces tracks with a unique edge and distinctive sound.
