Visionary saxophonist Colin Stetson straddles the worlds of avant jazz and experimental noise. He has worked with the likes of Tom Waits, Arcade Fire, Lou Reed, Bon Iver and Laurie Anderson, but it’s the layered, polyphonic sound of his solo compositions that really pushes boundaries (his saxophone becoming multiple instruments in one). A master of circular breathing, his stunningly physical performances highlight immense technical skill and are as breathtaking to listen to as they are to perform.
Catch Colin Stetson at Sydney festival in January 2014.
