SUMMARY:Zubin Kanga: Ghost in the Machine + After Dark
LOCATION:Southbank Centre
DESCRIPTION:Pianist\, composer and technologist Zubin Kanga performs ground
 breaking new music from his Cyborg Soloists project that fuses classical v
 irtuosity with cutting-edge technologies\, combining the piano with hybrid
  instruments\, digital avatars\, synthesisers\, body sensors and experimen
 tal AI.\n\nThe centrepiece is a monumental new work by visionary composer 
 George Lewis\, who has been combining interactive AI systems and live musi
 cians for over 45 years. Blombos Playground is a new milestone in his deca
 des of human-computer innovation\, combining Kanga’s live keyboardist wi
 th two AI improvising systems\, Voyager and Somax.\n\nVoyager is Lewis’ 
 iconic interactive software system which he has been continuously developi
 ng over four decades. It responds to the live performer like a natural imp
 rovisor with its own unique personality. Somax\, a machine-learning-based 
 system developed at IRCAM in Paris\, has been trained on Kanga’s improvi
 sations to become a kind of improvising AI doppelgänger.\n\nAll the music
  was commissioned or created as part of Cyborg Soloists\, supported by a U
 KRI Future Leaders Fellowship and Royal Holloway\, University of London. S
 oVo was created in 2025 by Marco Fiorini and Gérard Assayag at IRCAM\, an
 d George Lewis and Damon Holzborn at Columbia University.\n\nThe ticket pr
 ice includes a £2 venue restoration levy.\n\nBoletos: https://dice.fm/eve
