New Thread Quartet presents Electric Sax Vol. 2: Terrain and Barriers, our second annual concert of electroacoustic works for saxophone. This years program explores the literal and metaphorical paths across landscapes, through music about terrain, barriers, and the interconnectedness of things.

Erin Rogers' Fledge is an electroacoustic companion piece to her 2023 work Foliage for saxophone quartet. cory ryan kasprzyks other transforms a physical barrier from an obstruction into something sonically intertwined to the environment. The composition is an exact transcription of a barrier resonance, performed through microtones and extended technique alongside audio and video playback. Matias Vilaplana Starks Senderos, leads the musicians in improvisation guided by a video score. The work is created with satellite imagery showing four landscapes from Chile. Karlheinz Essls colorado utilizes an interactive particle accelerator to superimpose live sound particles of the saxophones across a 4-channel sound projection. The electronic manipulation will be controlled live by Dennis Sullivan.
