who is Kym?
Kymbali Williams is a multi-instrumentalist producer, composer, and interdisciplinary performance maker based between Estonia and Switzerland. Her practice moves at the intersection of sound, movement, and embodied memory—weaving voice, lamentation, and site-specific performance into works that explore how grief is carried in a body, a city, a song.Central to her work are performative audio walks: site-specific aural performances that guide participants through urban landscapes via spoken word and multi-genre soundscapes. Rooted in psychogeography, these walks transform pedestrian routes into intimate listening experiences—a form of singing people through a city.

When I arrived to Melpignano, I found this fireplace.
It became my safe place and room for experiments
On April 1st, I set myself the challenge to create one song a day. They are reflections of my days, documenting my travels and inner landscape. I aim to do this experiment for a year.
