Australian born UK-based pianist, composer and technologist Zubin Kanga blurs the boundaries between music and technology in his latest album Machine Dreams. This ten-track album inspired by cyborgs and other sci-fi themes, features music from a host of internationally acclaimed experimental and cutting-edge composers: Alex Paxton, Tansy Davies, Alex Groves, Nwando Ebizie, Robin Haigh, Jasmin Kent Rodgman, CHAINES, Amble Skuse, Ben Nobuto and Kanga himself.
A fearless advocate of the new and unknown, Kanga commissioned Machine Dreams as part of Cyborg Soloists; a four-year UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellowship research project, hosted by London’s Royal Holloway University. At the forefront of curating and creating interdisciplinary musical programmes for over a decade, Kanga’s new album draws together classic synthesizers and pioneering sensor technology, unlocking new possibilities in music making through interactions with AI and machine learning; interactive visuals and VR; motion and biosensors; and new hybrid instruments.
Kanga will perform Machine Dreams at the album launch event produced by Nonclassical on 21 April at Rich Mix in London:
