Kyrstyn Pixton

Kyrstyn Pixton was born in Concord CA, and later lived in Portland OR for most of her years. An Oakland/Portland based songstress/producer, an anomaly of the wind and Yes, of joy and ashes, and of the beauty that is passing, she is a chameleon from chaos, creating live impromptu and/or highly produced sets attuned by her mystical-melancholy Muse of bliss, hilariousness, cloudbursts, and Pegasus splendor. Emotive piano melodies, crafted layers of dance-floor rocking rhythms, poetic lyrics drawn from blushing ethers, fuzzy puppets, sonic sojourns through crystalline silences, and a washboard to boot. Kyrstyn is a multitalented one-of-a-kind morphotron. Within most every set she writes and produces a few songs live on the stage, usually with a few hints from the audience. She recently released her first full-length album EMBYRS, which you can check out here: http://KyrstynSong.com Her unique new sound blends soaring and/or quirky song-writing with luscious vocal harmonies and vast hard-hitting electro-acoustic soundscapes. Imagine a meld of Regina Spektor, Sarah McLachlan, Imogen Heap, Fiona Apple, Kate Bush, or Bjork backed by Air, Sigur-Ros, Plaid, Dead Can Dance, or Apparat. It's a bit like that! She's performed and recorded with a wide array of contemporary artists including Beats Antique, Lynx and Janover, Govinda, Auditory Canvas, Rena Jones, Saqi, Lila Rose, and more. Some of her past performance venues include the Schnitzer Concert Hall, Portland's Blues Fest, Emrgnsee Music Festival, Lightning in a Bottle Festival, Priceless Music Festival, and Cafe Du Nord. http://reverbnation.com/kyrstynpixton
