Composer, DJ and electronic musician Dan Samsa – alias Warsnare – is the first this year’s Associate Composers to curate a nonclassical night. Presented in the round of the Albany in Deptford, Dan presents an evening that combines 360-degree audio with the powerful sound system of UK bass culture.
We recently chatted to Dan about his upcoming night, which features works from himself, Berlin-based artist Kamikaze Space Programme and Luke David Harris & Henrik Oppermann.
Zubin Kanga is far from the standard pianist you see in classical music recitals. His performances often integrate elements of multimedia – including electronics, film, live video and interactive technologies – and often explores this relationship between the live musician and technology. Ahead of his Victoria performance with us on 22 May, we sat down with Zubin to chat more about what to expect from tomorrow’s programme, including premieres from Neil Luck and Laurence Osborn and a new performance of Alexander Schubert’s WIKI-PIANO.NET.
Ahead of their performance at our next nonclassical night, experimental flautist Kathryn Williams and performance artist Andy Ingamells talk about their practice, how they met and the new collaborative work they’ll be performing on 20 March.
nonclassical speak to composer Nico Muhly about the composition of his piece ‘Keep in Touch’, the weirdness of violas, and collaborating with Anohni.
Our July Club night is almost upon us, and we’re excited to present the launch of electronic musician and expert analogue tinkerer Tom Richards’ new LP PINK NOTHING. To give you a taste of what you might expect on 31 July, here’s a bit about the performers involved.
