SAXOMAPHONIUM

SAXOMAPHONIUM is a hybrid Kontakt instrument hewn from layers of baritone and alto sax plus two ancient wind powered reed organs. It takes un-cool elements, records them nicely and then re-imagines them into something entirely new.

THE COMPONENTS:

• Looped baritone and alto long notes.
• Tape treated, looped baritone and alto long notes.
• Honking goose sax staccatos.
• BPM synced looping harmonium hand pumped notes.
• Deep wheezy foot pumped room organ.

With a deep but manageable Kontakt engine the SAXOMAPHONIUM creates a new reed/metal/wood based palette that can cover a surprisingly wide range of stunning possibilities.

Michael Nyman post-baroque maxi/minimalisms, undulating cinematic Zimmer beds, Goran Bregovic Balkan wedding/funeral knees-up, pseudo orchestral epic sweep-scapes. Definitely not Baker Street.
