Past Event


This event was on 17 October, 4pm

Hassan Khan’s renowned performances bring together his pre-recorded compositions with live improvisation. He has worked with a diverse range of instruments including vocalists, brass ensembles, string quartets, the various instruments of a classical Arabic music takht, programmed Gamelan, group clapping and Piano. Using his own system, which features an ever-changing array of mixers, filters, processors, virtual synthesizers and live mics, Khan produces an evolving dialogue between composition and interpretation.
