A concert by Toronto-based improviser Karen Ng Karen Ng's debut LP Backwards Blue (Halocline Trance, 2025) is a collection of saxophone and electronics-centred compositions shaped by electroacoustic interpolation and exuberant sonics. Blending a free improvisational vocabulary with interactive patches, Ng crafts vivid sonic vignettes that examine what emerges between acoustic and electronic sources. In a cultural moment shaped (often belligerently) by technological frontierism, Backwards Blue identifies a more nuanced lattice of creative approaches and music technologies, woven together deftly so as to understate their apparent divergence. For her performance at Western Front, Ng will present an improvised saxophone and electronics set utilizing a variety of material extracted from the album. Following the performance, Ng will be joined in a brief post-performance conversation with Western Front Executive Director Susan Gibb.
