Brave New Music
20, 21, 22 March | The Arches, Glasgow, Scotland, UK
Young UK saxophonist, improviser and thinker.
A saxophone: thought through, taken apart, rattled, blown through, a beer can vibrated in the horn, a chance signal from a clockwork radio vibrating the keys. Handheld fans. Shrill squeaks. Splutters, gargling. Agricultural thrumming. No nonsense: just an incredible diversity of sounds, intensely focused by an inventive musician.
It's "about the saxophone, its music, history, and technique, actual and potential."19 It's not about what we perhaps think that instrument already is, but what it still could be.
19In his own words.
