Laetitia Sonami was born in France in 1957 and settled in the United
States in 1975 to pursue her interest in electronic music. She synthesizes
advanced technology, original music, and narrative into an intimate,
spontaneous art form all her own. She is best known for her unique instrument,
the elbow-length "lady's glove" that she plays live onstage, which is
fitted with pressure and motion sensors to control electronic sounds.
In the last several years, her performances have earned her substantial
international renown; in 1997 alone she has performed at the Berlin-Musikerinnen
Festival, the Lincoln Center Outdoor Performance Series, New York's
Kitchen and Bang on a Can Festival, Le Garage in Paris, as well as in
Amsterdam, Zurich, and Quebec. In 1996, she was featured in the American
Embassy's Interlink Festival in Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe, and Sapporo, as
well as in performances in Berlin, Barcelona, Vancouver, Philadelphia,
and San Francisco. "La Crachecophage",
