Tomorrow 6pm at sound festival in Aberdeen: Zubin Kanga premieres 4 new #cyborgsoloists works by @laraagar.bsky.social, Rylan Gleave, Ben Nobuto & Neil Luck (w. accordionist Andreas Borregaard) using Genki Wave Ring, AI motion capture, ROLI Seaboard... Tickets: sound-scotland.co.uk/event/zubin-...
A young man with curly black hair, wearing a blue suit is standing in the middle of four synthesiser keyboards, arranged to form a square. He is playing two of them - one with each hand, and looking off, out of the photograph, to our left. He is wearing a black glove on his (from our perspective) left hand. We can see cables running from the keyboards, all of them coloured - blue, green or red - and the lighting is atmospheric, blending from blue (on the right) through pink in the middle to a purple tone on the leftmost side of the image.

A coloured grid of keys on a synthesiser. The keys are gradually turned off, until only one is left playing.

With Another Timbre's new CDs imminent, I invite you to read my interview with Bryn Harrison. We discussed 'Towards a slowing of the past', disorientation in music, immersive listening and the most important lesson he learnt from pianist @philipthomas.bsky.social.
