Hi there!

A short update:  I am preparing for 2024 and taking a big breath before plunging again into a recording period of the SpectraSax project. Read more about it here:

During 2023, I managed to use the tools and methodology of the research and improve the recording technique to allow the recording of about 1000-1500 recordings a day in 3-4 hours of consecutive long and forte notes, which I’m utterly exhausted after that.

This winter and spring, I plan to record the alto’s second octave – about 22’480 recordings, and also different mouthpiece positions * dynamics * all range – in different cross sections, consisting of about 80’000 recordings.

I plan to finish this part of work by the end of May 2024, allowing me to come back to play live, performing, and promote my beloved new instrument – the Organophone.

In the meanwhile – you are very well come to enjoy my recordings or better still – contact me and we can book a concert for the second half of 2024.

Happy New Year!!!

Jonathan
