👋 Meet Bow Seat Alum and Performing Arts Judge, Kai Kubota-Enright (kubotaenright)

🎼 Kai is a composer and pianist from Vancouver, British Columbia, and has recently graduated with a bachelors in composition from schulichmusic at mcgill, studying composition with Melissa Hui and piano with Sara Laimon. 

🎬 Their musical output encompasses a variety of works for both concert and film, as well as contributions to various interdisciplinary projects. Their music often incorporates improvisational, electronic, and site-specific elements, and may be found as part of larger multimedia collaborations involving dance, installation art, and projection art. Their concert music primarily focuses on the relationship between sound and spatial environments, both natural and human-made, as well as how these various elements interact with personal memories and subjectivities; drawing from a variety of western and Japanese influences. 

🌊 In 2018 they received an award from Bow Seat for their piece “Aquas,” which utilizes a motif derived from climate data of the seas and terrain, and have also returned annually as a judge for musical works which respond to the climate crisis. And in 2019, they received a socanfdn #YoungComposerAward for “Isaac,” an #electroacoustic piece which explored the fragmentation of memory and psyche. From 2021-2022 at McGill they completed a brass quintet “Dream Transmission of Phoenix” as the Composer-in-Residence, and are currently working on scores for short and feature-length independent films.
