Quasar Saxophone Quartet (Marie-Chantal Leclair: Soprano Sax, Marthieu Leclair: Alto Sax, André Leroux: Tenor Sax, Jean-Marc Bouchard: Baritone Sax)
Jacob David Sudol: Electronics

Live Performance at the FIU Miami Beach Urban Studios, as part of the New Music Miami Festival (March 6, 2019)

Program Note:

"threads of wind..." was composed for the Montréal-based Quasar Saxophone Quartet to be premiered at the 2019 New Music Miami Festival. The work follows a similar approach to spectral materials and form that I’ve explored in works such as threads unraveling, unraveling, and stone bells and singing kites where the partials of various spectral analyses alternatively reveal themselves, tangle, and unravel. The work is also intended as tribute to two both Gerard Grisey and the Montréal-born Claude Vivier, who Grisey memorialized in his solo saxophone work Anoubis, Nout.
