Living Sound

I create solo saxophone performances that explore the intersection of sound, space, and spirit. Each performance is a dialogue with the room—its architecture, its history, its silence. I call this approach Living Sound, a practice rooted in deep listening and responsive improvisation.

Like a pendulum swinging between impressionism and expressionism, my approach captures both the atmospheric qualities of sound as it dissolves into space and the raw emotional urgency of the moment it's created. Notes become brushstrokes—sometimes dabbed gently like Monet's water lilies, sometimes slashed with the fierce intention of a Kandinsky line.

My explorations extend beyond traditional venues to engage with nature's own acoustic architecture. Standing at the edge of Ireland's Cliffs of Moher, I sent notes cascading down the cliff face, listening as they transformed in their journey to the sea below. At the tip of Cape Town, South Africa, I played toward Robben Island, the wind and water carrying and reshaping each sound. These experiences with natural resonance—from the reverberant chambers of caves to the vast openness of clifftops—are as integral to my practice as performances in human-built spaces.

Drawing from jazz, contemporary classical, and experimental traditions, I use solo saxophone to sculpt ephemeral sonic landscapes. No two performances are the same. The space becomes the second performer, and together we create resonant pathways for audiences. Each note hangs in the air like mist over water, then transforms as it encounters its surroundings—becoming something entirely new.

Through performance and documentation, I aim to build a living archive of these acoustic conversations. This project merges sound with both human architecture and natural formations, exploring the magic that happens when we truly listen to the invisible canvas of air around us.
