Zucchi/Laidlow Interfaces Improvisation

Praised for his “urgently visceral” playing (Tempo), London-based Canadian saxophonist David Zucchi performs a programme of innovative works for saxophone and live electronics including the world premiere of Benjamin Tassie’s new work, O Suns – O Grass of Graves, which explores the fragile sound world of the saxophone’s delicately unstable multiphonics.

Tassie's work has been commissioned with funds from Vaughan Williams Foundation and Hinrichsen Foundation.

Running time approx. one hour and 45 minutes, including interval
