The solo debut from the renowned saxophonist showcases his staggering, physically demanding circular breathing techniques. Utilizing contact microphones to capture the mechanical clicking of the instrument's keys alongside his own vocalizations, he constructs massive, hypnotic avant-garde compositions entirely in single takes. The release established a truly unique, highly physical approach to acoustic minimalism.
