Three tracks recorded in one day at the Studio des Variétés in Paris in 1994. First a kind of Aylmerian hymn in six saxophone layers (2 percussive, 2 high-pitched and 2 melodic), then a sax piece treated with a multitude of superimposed effects, then an improvisation on samples recorded previously in solo.
Quentin Rollet (born 1974) started playing the alto saxophone at the age of 11 and the sopranino saxophone at 37. After a few years spent unlearning the teaching of the conservatory, he devoted himself solely to free improvisation. This led him to play on record or on stage with groups as varied as
Nurse With Wound, Prohibition, The Red Krayola, Mendelson,
David Grubbs, Herman Dune,
