Stephane Rives*: "The mechanism of the saxophone permits a concrete-acoustic
approach to the instrument. The possiblilities of acting directly on the
pads and the flexibility of the reed offer subtle means of altering the
sonic wave generated by breath. Once one adopts a way of thinking based on
the sort of filtering any electronic musician does, one's attention is drawn
to the tiny micro-events that are barely audible in a traditional approach.
The sonic planes twist and acoustic distortion emerges, revealing the subtle
grains and textures lying "inside" the acoustic sound. New materials arise
as though they had always been right there, hidden behind the immediately
perceptible. In order to gain control of them, one reduces any idea of
willful intervention to an absolute minimum, leaving only the flow of air
through the metal cone, an action that is discrete in certain parameters.
My playing is not about arriving at something; instead, it is an instant
that answers to that logic. My musical reflection focuses on questions of
praxis. I am not driven by musical intention in the strict sense of the
term, but the experience of sound I propose represents a means of "exciting"
the listener, a way of questioning, of shaking up his feeling of
psycological security and transforming his relationship to listening."
