Zubin Kanga
is a modern-day
David Tudor
; he is at the forefront of 21st century avant-garde piano music, not only as a performer but also as a prolific commissioner of new works. Zubin has collaborated with many of the world's leading composers including
Steve Reich
,
Beat Furrer
,
Thomas Ades
, and
Michael Finnissy
. His teacher and mentor
Rolf Hind
was a pianist signed to the infamous Factory Records (
Joy Division
,
Cabaret Voltaire
) who instilled a borderless view of 'classical' music in him. Zubin has performed for the BBC Proms, as well as with the
Bang-on-a-Can Allstars
,
Eighth Blackbird
, and
Ensemble Plus-Minus
. Zubin's more recent concerts have aimed to extend the possibilities of the pianist, incorporating mixed-media and extended techniques as well as exploring the interaction between gesture and technology. Zubin is fitted with motion sensors which track his movement and give him direct sound-shaping control. This all plays out with him transplanted into films, virtually multiplied and layered, drowned in electronics and climbing on and in the piano in a
La Monte Young
/Fluxus salute. It could be said that he has aligned himself with the '"New Discipline" - a European scene defined by composer
Jennifer Walsh
which assimilates theatrics, absurdism, video art, the Internet and pop culture - although he still most definitely fly's the flag for pure contemporary classical music. Zubin is currently a post-doctoral researcher in Paris at one of the world's leading music technology research institutes - as well as Research Fellow of the Royal Academy of Music, where his research on new approaches to performer-technology interactions is published widely. The heyday of the graphic score was the 1960s; composers like
Bussotti
and
Cardew
picked up on the ideas first put forward by pioneers like
Feldman
and
Brown
, developing non-conventional music notation into elaborate and artistic scores.
Not Music Yet
for solo piano is a watercolor graphic score by Berlin-based Australian composer,
David Young
. Composed for Kanga, the performer is to consider it a time-space score (pitch read on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal). They should make three equal passes, reading left to right, playing only the black parts of the painting first, followed by white then blue. The work can be performed in either seven or 42 minute versions. Young recommends the use of a stopwatch to aid exact timing. Further, every attempt should be made to realize the graphics' contours and shapes as carefully and precisely as possible. Recorded with incredible detail on a 102-key Stuart and Sons piano. Deluxe CD and booklet with score image; limited edition.
