Study for a new composition.
I have been looking for the right interpretation for the execution of this passages for months.
The first four chords are from a draft found in the archive dating back to September of '22.
Other parts of the song are ideas that I tried to bring together in a song, as my usual ..
I tried to create a coherent speech between the different parts.
recorded as it is with a minimal editing in order not to lose spontaneity

Midnight. Here.

Cold City: Dawn

Jazz on a Fuse

A piece inspired by the botanical garden in Lausanne

Ranunculus gramineus

derivata-prima

Silver Static

Seven improvisations on a tenor saxophone, mixed to feature one main central improv and 6 interjecting horns spaced across the mix. Improvs were recorded over 3 days and were timed to the same length.
Moog synthesizer accompanies the mix.

Seven Tenors

From the Mist is a story without words – though words do appear.
It emerged slowly, like steam rising from wet soil at dawn. In every sound, there’s hesitation. In every noise, a trace of presence.
This is a piece about what arrives when everything else falls silent. About a voice that doesn’t speak – but is.
For the first time, I let my own voice become part of the music. Just a whisper.
But perhaps it says more than anything else could.
Listen.
Maybe something – or someone – will emerge for you too.
