Moses Mohammed Kington-Walberg is a sound-based artist from the WA Wheatbelt. His work currently spans composition, improvisation, and multimedia. Moses has created for a range of projects across Australia and internationally, recently premiering in Japan, Alaska, Finland, and the Netherlands.

His work is diverse and playful, concerned with how different ways of making can speak to each other - both by engaging across different arts communities and by experimenting across methods in his own practice. He values process- and materials-led approaches, and seeks to foster sincere, humanised performance and listening cultures across his work. Moses' compositions indulge affections for wildlife, places, and natural phenomena, with themes usually built through dialogue with the musicians and spaces he's working with.

His projects commonly call to improvisation, extra-musical materials, and interdisciplinary partners. A focus of his compositional style is exploratory notation, with scores designed as both guides for musical activity and as visual artworks in their own right, folding together ideas and techniques from across collaborations with visual artists, architects, dancers, cultural practitioners, and makers of moving image. Outside of composition, Moses enjoys a practice as a free improviser, installation artist, producer, intercultural collaborator, and amateur field recordist.

Some of his past work includes artist residencies with Taidetila Muijala, Saruya Bundanon, and PICA; exhibited work with FORM Gallery, Curtin Gallery, and Sarah Scouts Presents; he's directed productions with the Blue Room Theatre, KickstArt, and the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery; and participated in emerging artist programs with the AYO, WASO, AAO, Ensemble Offspring, Speak Percussion and Chamber Made.

Moses studied composition with James Ledger at the University of Western Australia, and with Elliott Gyger at the University of Melbourne. Some awards he has received include the Schenberg Music Fellowship, Marshall McGuire Emerging Composer Commission, Bendat Scholarship, and Dorothy Ellen Ransom Prize.
