New release out now by Elektramusic Berlin – Paul Clouvel : « Who Says This? », 6 pieces for saxophones and electronics, composed by by Michael Edwards and performed by Henrique Portovedo.
A major work at the intersection of saxophone, electronics, algorithmic composition and sonic experimentation.
Developed across decades of compositional research and performance practice, this release explores the dialogue between acoustic gesture and digital transformation, between improvisation and structure, between breath and code.
For Michael Edwards, the saxophone became a space where composition, programming and electroacoustic experimentation converge. For Henrique Portovedo, this project represents years of artistic and research exploration into augmented performance, complexity and the evolving identity of the contemporary saxophonist.
Recorded between California, Germany, Scotland and Portugal, each piece unfolds its own sonic world, from abstract electroacoustic textures to deeply physical instrumental writing, combining bespoke real-time electronics with virtuosic saxophone performance.
An essential release for listeners interested in contemporary music, computer music, electroacoustic composition and experimental sound art.
Available today on Elektramusic website, Bandcamp and soon on streaming platforms.
