An Exploded View of Time
An Exploded View of Time is an album of seven compositions for solo alto saxophone exploring the perception of time and the power of sound and music to reveal truths about the nature of reality. The album is the culmination of a multi-year exploration of extended techniques for the saxophone. I was specifically focused on the technique of circular breathing, the posibilities of polyphonic textures on a monophonic instrument, and the melodic potential of the harmonic series.
