		Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida, who comprise the Tokyo-based duo Cosmos, are definitely of the latter group.
		Vocalist Ami Yoshida's sonic parings are even more extreme, the outer projections of "voice" reduced down to little more than a splintered stream of close-miked sputters and gurgles or the fractured whimpers of injured birds.
		Yoshida does for singing what Bhob Rainey does for the saxophone or Axel Dorner for the trumpet, "reducing" her voice to whispers, squeaks, buzzes and breaths.

	Ami Yoshida - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ami Yoshida (吉田アミ, born May 13, 1976) is a Japanese musician.
		Yoshida does not play instruments, instead making her music with her own voice.
		Rather than conventional singing she makes a variety of vocalisations of such a nature that it is often hard to tell that the sounds are being produced by a voice at all.

		the moment that she and ami yoshida (originator of the so-called “howling voice”) begin their set, i realise my mistake.
		while yoshida produces sounds that are a curiously compelling mixture of retching and birdcalls, sachiko makes microscopic adjustments to her instrument and creates textural play with a contact microphone wrapped in elastic bands.
		yoshida has stated that she “strives for a barely audible sound that is perceived as sound itself rather than as vocalization”, but she doesn’t always achieve this.

	Ami Yoshida: Tiger Thrush: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Japan's Ami Yoshida exposes these conditions on her solo CD Tiger Thrush, and in the process perhaps raises more questions than anyone without a grant and six months sabbatical could hope to tackle.
		Yoshida was born in 1976 and performs improvised music with only her voice.
		Other times, Yoshida produces sounds that don't seem to have been originated from a person at all: distorted "electronic" feedback, erratic clicks, metallic scrapes and grating scratches.

		Yoshida’s goal, even if she does not always achieve it, is to produce sounds which could not be identified as emanating from the human vocal cords.
		Yoshida’s wracked vocal cords are a very fitting companion for Kawasaki, who often sounds like he’s subjecting his synth to the worst kind of torture in order to make it unwillingly produce its choppy half-screams.
		In this context, Yoshida uses the organic rawness of her vocal sounds as a counterpoint to the spartan minimalism of Sachiko’s subtly shifting sine tones.

		Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida, both from Tokyo, met in 1997 and formed the duo of Cosmos the following year.
		Ami Yoshida strives to create a pure sound, abstracting her voice until it becomes almost completely unrecognizable.
		Sachiko and Ami incrementally build an atmosphere of fragile, yet deeply focused, intensity, forging a symbiotic fusion between human and electronic expression.

		It is hard to believe that Ami Yoshida and Utah Kawasaki would not listen to each other while playing, but their paradoxical statements can be partly put down to discarding such clichés of free improvisation as alternating soloing.
		Yoshida does not “sing” in any conventional sense of the word, but rather croaks and wheezes.
		In an interview with the Improvised Music From Japan magazine Ami Yoshida elaborated: “An important point is whether or not there’s breathing.

	Ami Yoshida - Tiger Thrush - Stylus Magazine
		On her most acclaimed outings thus far, however, this unusual vocal talent has been paired with another, often equally outré, sound: the high-pitched sinusoidal fluctuations of Sachiko M in the Cosmos duo, the broken-keyboard mini-explosions of Utah Kawasaki in Astro Twin, and a profusion of overlapping noisestreams on Otomo Yoshihide’s Cathode project.
		Yoshida has become remarkably adept at disguising his voice—even disguising her very human nature—and this tendency makes the few moments where her humanity bleeds through (mostly towards the end of the hour) among the disc’s most affecting and, indeed, blood-curdling.
		Without some more stable collaborator to anchor her flights of vocal dexterity, Yoshida seems prone to showing off, which is partly what this disc really is: a proud exhibition of the kinds of sonic environments the Japanese singer is capable of creating from her sparse means.

		the second day of the festival began with a performance by cosmos, a duo consisting of sachiko m and ami yoshida (vocals).
		sachiko m's ultra-minimal bleeps, rustles and extended tones unobtrusively but powerfully contribute to the heightened state of concentration and perception and distended sense of space and time through which cosmos suspends the listener's quotidian state of mind, yet it is perhaps ami yoshida who is the focus of attention.
		the participants were burkhard beins (drums), andrea ermke (electronics), sabine ercklentz (trumpet) and ami yoshida (voice).

		Taku Sugimoto and Ami Yoshida (winner of the Golden Nica at Ars Electronica this year) are core members of the Improvised Music From Japan community.
		Ami Yoshida’s vocalizations strive to move beyond their organic origins into a soundscape that is pure noise.
		Ami’s duet with Lawrence English was a surreal union of human noise and machine cries, blurring the lines between the two.

	Cosmos - Tears - Stylus Magazine
		Her contributions — save for the glistening, stratospheric tone that lingers on the second half of the first track — tend toward short, agitated bursts of modulated sine waves and the clattery scrabble of a rubber-band-clad contact mic.
		The two tracks that bookend Tears highlight the disjunctions in Sachiko and Ami’s approach, playing to the “fissures” interpretation of the album’s dualistic title — presumably, Yoshida’s wounded inflections account for the title’s alternate interpretation.
		The sharp separation of performer identities disappears as a complex network of microscopic phenomena emerges — the track is not as much a dialogue between Sachiko M and Yoshida as it is a fragile exchange between density and sparseness or activity and stillness.

		It's hard to believe Yoshida's sounds, with their myriad nuances, are those of a human voice -- they could easily be mistaken for minute digital noises.
		Over the past several years, this artist's work -- including projects with Yoshihide Otomo (guitar, turntable); and the duos Cosmos, with Sachiko M (sinewaves), and Astro Twin, with Utah Kawasaki (analog synthesizer) -- has garnered considerable attention on the improvised music scene both inside and outside Japan.
		Her 1997 release Spiritual Voice was a collaboration with the CD's producer, Tamaru (bass guitar, effects), so this is essentially Yoshida's first solo album.

		In Cosmos, she's teamed up with Ami Yoshida, another Otomo collaborator, whose instrument is more ancient: her own voice.

		Disc 3 features music recorded on the first evening of the festival proper, the sets by Cosmos (Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida) and the Rowe / Lehn / Schmickler trio; disc 4 comes from the second night's proceedings, and includes Müller's set with Otomo and the Lehn / Schmickler duo.
		Ami Yoshida is, fortunately, as fascinating to listen to as she is to look at - not having had the pleasure of seeing her perform live, I find the images of her in action on the DVD especially captivating.
		Along with the venerable Phil Minton she must be the most original vocal improviser around at the moment, but whereas he lurches, grimaces, gargles and bellows, Yoshida produces her sounds with the strict minimum of movement and expression - and phenomenal mic technique.

	Seattle Weekly: Music: Trust Their Intuition by Jess Harvell
		Cosmos is a duo of Sachiko M, who plays a sampler with no samples in it (kooky!), and Ami Yoshida, who plays her voice (kookier than you think).
		Yoshida often works by doing little more than passing air over her vocal chords, a mesmerizing stream of twitters, grunts, coos.
		In the few photos I've seen of her, she looks almost terrifyingly focused, possessed, like someone who's spent too long trying to imitate the variety of birdsong.

	* Dusted Features [ AMPLIFY 2002: Balance ] *
		Like much of the music played over the course of the weekend, the Yoshihide/Müller set is marked by a certain boyish rowdiness, an exception that proves the rule by the nature of the festival, despite its numerous conflicts with the undisturbed, meditative nature of the music.
		Funnily enough in face of this “boyishness,” the female faction of AMPLIFY, the duet between Ami Yoshida and Sachiko M, is a clear standstill: the most focused, deliberated set of the festival, unrelentingly ordered and surgically precise.
		AMPLIFY displaces the Erstwhile hierarchy of music first, improv second; this is improvisation, all dangers and susceptibility fully intact.
