“An exciting program of new works that were conceptually united by the idea of extension and expansion through various forms of electronically generated mirroring. Kanga is an equally exciting pianist, effortlessly virtuosic and in complete command of this (quite literally) electrifying modern repertoire.”
— Lisa MacKinney, Limelight Magazine, 2015.

Zubin Kanga is a fearless advocate of the new and unknown. For over a decade, he has been at the forefront of curating and creating interdisciplinary musical programmes which seek to explore and redefine what it means to be a performer through interactions with new technologies.

Cyborg Pianist (NMC Recordings)

What is the future of the piano? This is a question that pianist, composer, and technologist Zubin Kanga has explored for over a decade now and one which he investigates in his first solo release on NMC, Cyborg Pianist. Inviting some of the most inventive and forward-thinking composers of today to incorporate a host of cutting-edge technological alterations and extensions into their new works for solo piano, Kanga develops a new ‘cyborg sonic identity’ for an instrument that has remained largely unchanged for the past century. Commissioned as part of Kanga’s multi-year music and research project Cyborg Soloists, Cyborg Pianist is a treasure trove of technological innovation as six distinct compositional voices unlock new possibilities in piano composition and performance.​‍
