S-AXES Bisbi Evo

Ensemble of 2 alto and 2 tenor saxophones, playing my favorite technique: the bisbigliando. Using false fingerings, re-tonguing and harmonics, each note is like a bubbling plasma.

The story

Although extended techniques appear more and more often in the sampling world, here is one I miss. Most of us probably know the bisbigliando technique reagrding teh harp. But the woodwinds (and the brass too as a matter of fact) are capable of it as well.
And it’s beautiful!

In the S-AXES Bisbi Evo I recorded myself on alto and tenor sax, as many notes as possible that offered at least 3 (in some cases up to 7) different fingerings for the same note (with microtonal deviations).

You can morph between slow and fast bisbigliando using the CC1.

    Love the sound and the realism. It doesn't fit everywhere, but one wouldn't expect it to.
