Balafon,
the first of Christian
Lauba?s Neuf Etudes for
Saxophone, is an ?African
song? that uses the
ancient technique of
circular breathing. This
soloist work - splendidly
performed in the album
?Hard? by Richard Ducros,
one of the greatest
interpreters of Lauba?s
works for saxophone ? was
expanded and transformed,
with the composer?s
approval, by saxophonist
Philippe Geiss into a
piece for Saxophone
(tenor or soprano) and
electronics under the
title Blue Balafon. The
arrangement calls for
?free articulation in a
?jazz legato? spirit?,
making the use of
circular breathing
optional in order to
favour the piece?s
incredible energy. The
score comes with a CD
that includes a complete
version of the work
performed on Saxophone by
Philippe Geiss, as well
as an electroacoustic
accompaniment isolated
for playback. This
eclectic musical
adventure proves itself
both stimulating for the
mind and invigorating for
the senses..
