Prog. notes: PerMagnus Lindborg, Loo Sze Wang, et al. (2021) :: live performance version for sheng, electronics, and video // fixed-media version [film], soundislands.com/kyager/. KYAGER is about a mountain, a musician, and a robot. Every creative musician dreams of reaching the parnassum of his or her art: Jesus and Petrarca climbed mountains. Some musicians inspire, like Gepetto, Drosselmeyer, or Frankenstein, their ambitions into a robot. But with Loo Sze Wang, is it the robot Zaku that becomes more like its master, or the master that becomes more like the robot?
