Colin Stetson’s Listening Chair
Elizabeth Alker shares new ambient and experimental sounds, and saxophonist Colin Stetson shares a track that transports him elsewhere.
Canadian-American saxophonist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Colin Stetson is known for his virtuosic saxophone playing and experimental techniques such as circular breathing and multiphonics. He produces music that traverses many genres from jazz and experimental to neoclassical, and his drone-like soundscapes are dense and sonorous in texture, often reaching cacophonic states. He is also an established film composer, whose recent scores include last year’s Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Menu. In the Listening Chair tonight, he takes us on a journey back to his formative years in music.
Elsewhere in the show, we hear new releases from a variety of artists including Penguin Cafe with their new musical creation for this year’s Piano Day, a gorgeous hypnotic track by Brazilian DJ and producer ANNA featuring Laraaji, and the gentle folk-esque meanderings of pianist Angus MacRae.
