The Bulgarian live performer and producer KiNK has been on our wishlist for a How I Play interview for years. Videos of him in the studio and at live shows have been incredible to watch, so today we’re excited to share this exclusive look at what his current live show is composed of, and how his gear all works together in one fantastic rig. Click through to watch this behind-the-scenes video.
KiNK Interview + Live Setup
KiNK views his rig as being “inspired by DJing”, and as separated into two parts:
- Playback of loops from his own tracks (via Ableton)
- Live improvisational elements overtop – either with outboard production gear or with Ableton
