Microtonal Music for Four Alto Saxophones
“Four alto saxophones scan the world of their sounds for unknown depths, elevations and gaps. Fine microtones filled with friction create a soundsphere that is not infrequently reminiscent of the texture of electronic music. Their concentration on the moment and on the nuanced structure of the pieces affords a rare insight into the microscopically fine texture of sound.”
