Not Waiting presents,

KUBOV/ Mira Benjamin / Khabat Abas. A blend of strings, electronics and improvisation.

Friday 20 December - doors 8 - start 8.30 | £6 adv / £8 otd

KUBOV

KUBOV is a duo of violin (Emma Lloyd) and electronics (Jess Aslan). Incorporating minimalist textures and harrowing dissonance and distortion, their music ranges from the esoterically tingly to downright disturbing. Their eclectic sonorities are a result of the hybridisation of electronics and acoustic instrument, with which they explore and combine spaces and places, warping perspective and effecting a sonic escapism.https://kubov.bandcamp.com/releaseshttp://emmajanelloyd.com/http://xica.co.uk
