Prog. notes: The live set ‘Cross-wired’ is using an electric circuit that is deconstructed, and during the performance, Kang challenges to re-construct it, not in a correct order. It could be seen as a circuit bending as the extraordinary wire connections made during the performance by instantaneous decisions would eventually create an unexpected sound. She calls it a ‘live-breadboarding’ but instead of using a breadboard on stage, she uses a hand harp, its metal strings as the interface for the electric signal to flow. Such a set offers an opportunity to deal with unexpected, chaotic moments that the performer can’t anticipate. It is accordingly challenging for her to create a musical outcome
