Live performance from the 2019 Sounding Now Festival at Yong Siew Toh Conservatory in Singapore.

Matias Far - El poeta - en 7 letras, una de ellas releída (2013) for two alto saxophones

Paul Clift - duet/anagram (2015) for two tenor saxophones and electronics

Wie in vielen meiner akutellen Werke transportiert Assembly Line Elemente aus der Popularmusik in einen experimentellen Kontext: eine ausgeprägte Pulsation, tonale Wendungen und symmetrische Strukturen werden mit 16tel-töniger Mikrotonalität und scharfen Dissonanzen durchsetzt. Kompositionen, die ausschließlich vom Klang ausgehen sind schwer zu benennen. In solchen Fällen sehe ich mich gerne nach einem Sinnbild aus dem täglichen Leben um. Inspiriert von den elektronischen Klangfarben des vorproduzierten Zuspielers und der repetitiven Natur dieser Musik kam mir spontan die Assoziation einer automatisierten Fertigungsstraße in den Sinn.

Landman/Stadler Saxophone Duo was formed to have a unique voice among the growing field of sax duos. Both dedicated interpreters of new music, Basel-based Patrick Stadler and NYC-based Geoffrey Landman met while in school at the Musik-Akademie der Stadt Basel. Following a debut concert at the World Saxophone Congress in Strasbourg, France in June 2015, the duo embarked on a tour of New York City in February 2016 with the support of the Swiss Council of the Arts ProHelvetia. In New York the duo presented concerts at the Manhattan School of Music, D’Addario Manhattan Showroom, and the Firehouse Space in Brooklyn as part of the Composers Now Festival. In October 2016, with support from the ~~~~~ foundation, the LS sax duo performed three concerts in Switzerland; La Voirie in Biel, Villa Sträuli in Winterthur, and at the Musik Hochschule in Basel. Working closely with composers to create unique works is the focal point of the duo, having collaborated with composers such as Paul Clift, Mauro Hertig, Matias Far, and Joseph Michaels. Future commissions include works by Yair Klartag, Matias S. Krüger, Sarah Nemtsov, and Elena Rykova.
