" Saxophone is an endoscopic instrument. One of the only instruments being so invasive inside the oral cavity of the player ( clarinet and brass or double reeds are less). It explores the resonances of internal cavities amplofying them due to his megaphonic in reality, is more than this in the fusion between organic and inorganic that the player acts.
That's why saxsophone is so changeable in timber and changes dramatically from player to player almost as the human voice.

Since long time I am exploring this sonic relation between inner and outer sides with the help of microphones/microscopes allowing me to amplify and making audible all the micro sounds produced on the border separating /unifying the body of the player from the instrument, the organic sounds from the inorganic ones, moisture from life breaths."
