How does the future of the piano sound? Australian pianist, composer and technologist Zubin Kanga examines this question with a concert featuring a range of state-of-the-art technology, from body sensors to AI. The centrepiece of the concert is »Steady State«, a major new audio-visual work by Hamburg-based composer Alexander Schubert. Staged as a futuristic experiment with two robed laboratory assistants, it uses EEG brain sensors to detect the performers’ brain responses to strobing holographic projections. These brain signals in turn influence the visuals and music, creating continuous audiovisual feedback loops. The work blurs the lines between installation and performance, with the performer turning into a transhuman processing unit in a work that explores the body, computation, hallucination and transcendence. Zubing Kanga also performs three new works by UK-based composers combining the piano, innovative keyboards, synthesizers multi-sensor gloves, and live electronics drawing on themes of the night, nightclubs and dreams.
