Description: Saxophones + Harmoniums = SAXOMAPHONY
Sound Dust Saxomaphonium is a hybrid instrument for Contact, made from layers of baritone and alto sax, as well as two old wind organs. In general, the usual instruments were taken, they were beautifully recorded, and then reimagined into something completely new.
With a deep but manageable Contact engine, the Saxomaphonium creates a new reed / metal / wood-based palette that can cover a surprisingly wide range of stunning possibilities.
The Components
Looped baritone and alto long notes
Tape treated, looped baritone and alto long notes
Honking goose sax staccato
BPM synced looping harmonium hand-pumped notes
Deep wheezy foot pumped room organ
