Kalun Leung will develop a methodology for movement-based electroacoustic improvisation for the MuBone Augmented Trombone. The Mubone is a new, proprietary hybrid instrument created by Kalun outfitted with orientation sensors, tactile controls, and integrated loudspeakers. The Max patch environment 3D Granular Synthesis (3DGS) works in tandem with the MuBone, tracking any movements via an instrument-mounted sensor and enables the performer to control live processing.
Kalun Leung is a trombonist, improvisor, composer and creative technologist based in Brooklyn, New York. His work as an instrumentalist is motivated by the exploration of new and unexpected contexts in which the trombone can thrive. This ongoing research-based approach has manifested in audiovisual performances of Keith Haring’s unpublished computer art and a Fluxusinspired trombone sound sculpture. He is a member of the movement and sound improvisation collective ECHOensemble, Eco-Music Big Band, and has a solo project involving electroacoustic improvisation.
