Kasho Chualan / Lukas König
Kurdistan/Kanada, Austria
Kasho Chualan - prepared piano, electronics
Lukas König - drums, amplified cymbal
Kurdish-Canadian pianist and composer Kasho Chualan is considered the "antichrist of classical music," partly because she not only crosses borders, but prefers to tear them down. "Manipulating and improvising with an experimental, dreamlike, narrative, and structural approach" results in cut-up collages such as her "Trauma Nostalgique," with a "sound of the necessity of resistance against extreme radical patriarchal regimes." A Viennese resident, she already performed in solo-togetherness last December with multitasking drummer and sound maker Lukas König, whom Ö1 once described as a "musical particle accelerator," prompting all sorts of #experimental hashtags. As Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, the wise Indian spiritual teacher, knew: "The unexpected and unpredictable is real."
