The first part is hypnotic. Something like a mantra. The second is like a beat box, a robot, or a computer groove. A spiritual side near an assetical & rhythmical other side. I think that’s the reason how this piece is genial.
@@fabiocalzavarasax I heard this as an encore piece last night - the performer (Valentine Michaud) explained it as Ku Ku meaning 'Chicken', and the first part of the piece was the free bird at peace in nature, and the second part was the caged chicken gradually going 'cuckoo' (mad)... It's absolutely amazing, and I love your recording - thank you!
@@gant73 Of course, fingering is not everything. You have to find the right air emission & throat configuration. But the most important thing is to be able to imagine these sounds. If you can hear them in your head you will be able to play them with the sax.
I hate how genius this piece is. It’s perfect, but why, but it’s perfect.

@@joannetoon2376 Thanks!
😯wow. The first part is deeply, inexplicably melodically unsettling …
I think This piece is a masterpiece. A fundamental page of modern saxophone repertoire.

How to you play those multiphonics?
In the score there are fingerings to obtain them. With a Little bit of practice and perseverance they works.
@@fabiocalzavarasax do you have to do anything else or just the fingerings
