Conductor Vimbayi Kaziboni

»This is the best music I can imagine for an extraordinary collection of musical people. It is a whole concert piece that uses voices, orchestra and electronics to feel into an intensified sensuality of musical experience. Song as play, listening as touch and harmony like being alive in a body. It has some gay bits too, I like ’em.«
