Eyvind Kang & Jessika Kenney
The duo of Eyvind Kang and Jessika Kenney visit KET for a unique concert on Monday 16 December.
Eyvind Kang (viola/electronics) and Jessika Kenney (voice/electronics) have established themselves as powerful voices working at a unique intersection of contemporary composition, improvisation, and non-western traditional music forms. Either individually or as a pair, they have worked in contexts ranging from performances of Persian radif-based music with Ostad Hossein Omoumi, to electronic and esoteric improvisations, to collaborations with symphonic orchestras and choirs, but their work together as a duo, on The Face Of The Earth and Aestuarium, most clearly represents the central concerns of their diverse practices: a music of the inner life of sound, demanding ritualistic focus and promising heightened sensations.
