Programme note
The original version of Ukukhalisa Umrhubhe is about 16 minutes long and was commissioned by Festival d'Automne à Paris in 2013. Meaning 'to play the umrhubhe' or literally 'to make the umrhubhe cry', I worked on the piece in the electronic music studio at Stellenbosch University between January and August 2013 with the participation of the Xhosa bow legend Mantombi Matotiyana. This short fragment taken from the larger work has been reframed to create a portrait of the umrhubhe.
