Performing improvised music on a cross-cultural instrumentation, Ka Dao Yin’s members are based in Taipei and London. With its signature combination of piano, C-saxophone, sheng (Chinese mouth organ), and zheng (Chinese zither), the music of Ka Dao Yin stands at the crossroads of contemporary classical music, Chinese folk music, free improvisation, and jazz.
The name Ka Dao Yin 卡到音 (pronounced Kǎ Dào Īn) is a transliteration of a Taiwanese wordplay which means ‘getting caught up in something’, — in Ka Dao Yin‘s case, it means loosely structured, but deeply felt, expressive improvisation with intuitive interplay between the group members.
