Hello!

My name is Kalun Leung (pronounced Kaelin, Chinese Name: 梁家綸) and I am a Hong Kong Canadian trombonist, mubonist, and sound artist working between New York and Montréal. The mubone is an electronically augmented trombone that Travis West and I created and is featured in much of my recent work.

As a trombonist, I perform with ensembles and collectives in a wide range of musical genres and artistic approaches, such as with groups who specialize in the folkloric dance based music of the Balkans and South America, electroacoustic improvisation with dancers and invented instruments, and concert installations with biosensors and landfills. As a sound artist, I am particularly drawn to the trombone's potential as a platform for experimentation; it's telescopic design makes it one of the few instruments that changes shape as it's played, and when electronically augmented or prepared with mutes or other devices, the trombone can be transformed into a gestural controller, feedback chamber, or prop. 

Exploring new directions and creative outlets for the trombone is an ever evolving part of my artistic practice. It is both my instrument and a lens that enables me to navigate through sound and space, and through histories and stories. 

Thank you for your interest in my work! I invite you to read my biography, learn about the mubone, or to get in touch, I'd love to hear from you.
