Liz Tonne is a sound artist inspired by the unorthodox use of the human voice. She is an improviser and an interpreter of contemporary composition using voice as her instrument. Her singing is an abstraction of styles ranging from jazz to bird songs, and uses techniques taken from bel canto, wheezing and the mimicry of machinery.
As well as performing as a solo artist, Tonne is a member of The BSC, a large improvisational group directed by Bhob Rainey. She is a quarter of undr quartet, who along with James Coleman, Greg Kelley and Vic Rawlings will be celebrating their tenth year anniversary as one of the pioneering ensembles of Boston's "lowercase" sound.
Most recently, she is collaborating with altered guitarist, Bill Nace, and is a contributor to Jarrod Fowler's newest release, 'Percussion' as Percussion.
