Zubin Kanga: Ghost in the Machine + After Dark
Southbank Centre, Purcell Room, SE1 8XX , [Venue Details]The pianist and composer fuses classical virtuosity with cutting-edge technologies in a concert featuring works by Nwando Ebizie, Alex Paxton, and Ben Nobuto.
Pianist, composer, and technologist Zubin Kanga performs groundbreaking new music from his Cyborg Soloists project, combining the piano with hybrid instruments, digital avatars, synthesizers, body sensors, and experimental AI.
Nwando Ebizie’s I Will Fix Myself (Just Circles) explores the influence of Chopin’s technique on Zubin’s relationship to the piano, combining interview materials and AI voices with the piano, a synthesizer, and complex Afrofuturist electronic textures.
In Alex Paxton’s Cuddley Wuddley, everyday experiences become whimsical studies expanding the piano with a keyboard playing sampled choirs, drums, birds, and cooking utensils.
And Ben Nobuto’s The Art of Sinking takes the loneliness and anxiety of a pianist preparing for a performance and explodes their inner monologue onto the stage in a virtuosic duet between the pianist and a digital avatar.
Performed on piano, ROLI Seaboard, video, and electronics, it draws together the pianistic bravura of Liszt and Ravel with the glitchy rhythms of video game music.
