Zubin Kanga performs his own Steel on Bone and Simon Steen-Andersen’s Pretty Sound (Up and Down) alongside works by Claudia Molitor and Alexander Schubert.

This programme is dedicated to the question of performativity and physicality in contemporary music, and Zubin’s set is complemented by a performance of works by Amir Shpilman.

Full programme information is available on Kontraklang’s website

Pianist, composer and technologist, Zubin Kanga performs a range of work by composers that explores the emotion, and psychology, of the piano, drawing on sine tones, dated synth sounds and digital interfacing on his way to drawing up a new lexicon for his instrument. 

The programme includes world premieres of works created for Cyborg Soloists by Simon Steen-Andersen, Georgia Rodgers and Kanga himself, as well as Laurence Osborn’s Absorber from 2019. Kanga’s set is positioned within a programme of work performed by members of Riot Ensemble, Nwando Ebizie, Lottie Sadd and Simon Emmerson + Irene Røsnes.
