  • If She Could Dance Naked Under Palm Trees (2025)

    London Symphony Orchestra

    • In many ways, it could be seen as a space created for this self-celebration and acceptance. The sound is full and rich. Brass instruments take a big role and the colours of the orchestra feel fanned out, which allows a sense of space for the listener and a promise of something better. Kinosh’s music is deeply evocative and important. In this two-and-a-half minutes of music, Kinoshi sets herself up to be one of its most exciting new voices.

  • [UNTITLED]

    Ensemble Intercontemporain at the Barbican Centre

    • Musically, it was exquisitely paced. Momentum gathered through the hefty bass of lower strings, fiendish trumpet curlicues were picked up by a cello screaming high up the fingerboard and two flutes combined in a moreish, barline-defying groove. At the heady climax, the orchestra was suddenly cut, leaving only a symphony of squelches, echoes and loops from the turntable, spinning out overhead.
