A Boat Upon Its Blood

The debut solo album from the Montreal-based saxophonist is a unique and deeply physical work of experimental music. Using custom-built equipment to translate his heart-rate and breathing into electronic triggers, 'A Boat Upon Its Blood' is an immersive soundscape controlled by the artist's own body. The album blends long, hypnotic saxophone drones with pulsing, rhythmic electroacoustic textures, creating a powerful and utterly singular listening experience.
