Zubin Kanga: Cyborg soloist

Zubin Kanga is a pianist, composer and technologist, who has been at the forefront of curating and creating interdisciplinary musical programs exploring what it means to be a performer in the 21st Century. His multi year project, Cyborg Solosits, is unlocking new possibilities in music making through interactions with motion and biosensors, new hybrid instruments, interactive visuals, and AI.

In this conversation, Zubin provides a fascinating glimpse into this project, where he is collaborating with dozens of composers around the world in an exciting exploration of the limitless possibilities that lie ahead in how we create, perform, and enjoy music.

Zubin also provides insights into the world premieres he will be performing, which includes one of his own compositions, with Ensemble Offspring to launch their 30th anniversary season, for Lumen Machine, on April 12 at The Neilson and April 13 at the Newcastle Conservatorium.
