This presentation examines three works for piano and electronics, recently performed by Zubin Kanga, a concert pianist that feature diverse approaches to composition as ‘building an instrument’ (following Lachenmann’s definition of composition). In Piano Hero (2012) by Belgian composer, Stefan Prins, the performer uses a keyboard to control a video avatar of a pianist, creating gestural complexity from the contrast between the live performer’s gesture and the resultant ‘performing’ video. Australian composer Benjamin Carey’s work _derivations (2013) is a program that functions as a duetting partner for an improviser.
This software functions as a creative environment that directs the performer towards specific types of musical and gestural material, creating play in the ambiguity between embodied and disembodied sound. British composer, Patrick Nunn wrote Morphosis (2014) in close collaboration with Kanga using 3D sensors attached to his hands to control the electronics and extend the relationship between the performer’s gestures and resulting sounds.
Using interviews, score excerpts and video documentation of workshops, Zubin Kanga will examine how a score, a piece of technology and the gestural language of the performer are formed simultaneously and symbiotically. These systems function as virtual instruments that foster new approaches for gestural approaches to music, while also imposing their own new limitations. The presentation concludes with a performance of Patrick Nunn’s Morphosis.
