Alex Koi x Kirin McElwain Duo

The music of vocalist Alex Koi and cellist Kirin McElwain embodies synthesis of acoustic and electronic music, as well as composition and improvisation. Individually, we've performed with the likes of Mary Halvorson, This Will Destroy You, Trevor Dunn [Mr. Bungle, John Zorn, etc.], Post Malone, and Shara Nova to name a few.

We're extremely excited to have just recorded our debut album “Wake” in New York City with engineer Randall Dunn [Kali Malone, Oneohtrix Point Never, HBO’s “The Curse”].

This album was made possible with funding contribution from Young Arts.

“Wake” is expected for release in 2026, following an EP scheduled for Fall 2025.
