2012 contributor: Stephanie Lavon Trotter

Stephanie Lavon Trotter tells people she's an opera singer because that's her training, but the dead arias of old dead white men are the last thing leaving her lips these days. On a bear being ridden by a ghost, an e.p., and her contribution to kB2012, she builds open compositions from formal constraints, field recordings, and, more than anything, that finally wild and unleashed instrument--the voice--she's kept hidden under her head all these years. What's more, Stephanie did all the layout for the kittyBOOGER mag. She's the one who so lovingly numbered all the stickers. She's the best.

When she isn't recording sounds, she's reading and writing for her MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts at Goddard College, and baking gluten free confections.
