After living in Seattle, Kraabel moved to London while in her teenage years.[1] She started playing saxophone and became active in London's improvised music scene, developing a style based on extended techniques and acoustics. She performed solo and with John Edwards, Veryan Weston,[2] Charlotte Hug, Maggie Nicols,[3] Phil Hargreaves, and the London Improvisors Orchestra.[4] She organized and conducted pieces for Mass Producers, a 20-piece, all-female saxophone/voice orchestra[5] and for Saxophone Experimentals in Space, a 55-piece group of young saxophonists. Kraabel hosted a weekly radio show on Resonance FM[6] and is the editor for the London Musicians Collective's magazine Resonance.
Albums include Transitions with Maggie Nichols and Charlotte Hug,[7] Five Shadows with Veryan Weston, Performances for Large Saxophone Ensemble 1 and 2 and Performances for Large Saxophone Ensemble 3 and 4 with Mass Producers, and the solo work Now We Are One Two.
