Urban Sax

French multimedia performance ensemble founded by Lard Free leader Gilbert Artman in 1977. Originally all the instrumental sounds were created with saxophones, with a 16 piece ensemble under the direction of Gilbert. As the years went on other instruments were added turning Urban Sax into a unique orchestra, and a music that cross-pollinates jazz, classical, rock and contemporary avant-garde/systemic music.

Amelia Cuni, Werner Durand
Already awake in the night
Ini.itu
Mindblowing new LP on ini.itu label, composed by Amelia Cuni & Werner Durand, with David Trasoff. The music on this LP is based on the Hindustani Raag Lalit and its modulation to Raag Todi. Lalit is performed in the early morning before sunrise, Todi later on, after sunrise. Here, they are both played against a background of sine waves tuned to the raag’s intervals and going through subtle phase shifting. The restrained sinewaves tapestry, ornamented with Amelia Cuni’s voice and David Trasoff’s …
Robert Wood
Sonabular
Spalax Music
Beautiful free form vibraphone music with articulated drumming, underrated and very little know, highly recommended! In 1971-72, English vibraphonist Robert Wood was a member of French band Lard Free, the band Gilbert Artman led before Urban Sax. Wood later asked Artman to play drums on his own second LP, ‘Sonanbular’, while Artman included vibraphone on the first Lard Free official LP (1973), as well as the Clear Light Symphony LP (1975) and Urban Sax. The ‘Sonanbular’ front cover (the industri…
Werner Durand, Alio Die
Aqua Planing
Hic Sunt Leones
In the enigmatic Aqua Planing, Werner Durand and Alio Die create a sonorous, powerful, impervious space; sometimes liquid, subtly endearing. A meeting of mysterious sounds, both improvised and organised, of the traditional and self-made wind- instruments and their hybrids by Werner Durand (persian and circular water ney, circular  clarinet, khen, prepared shakuhachi) with the editing, loops and enviromental recordings by Alio Die.  As in the title track, where they recorded the sound of the wind…

Insomnie
Spalax Music
2nd album by this French trio made up Gilbert Artman (post-Lard Free, Urban Sax), Jac Berrocal and Jean-Francois Pauvros. here's the utterly fantastic third album from this brilliantly anarchic supergroup of stalwart iconoclasts. While their debut featured a largely improvised live dialogue between Jac Berrocal and Jean-Francois Pauvros, their two follow-up releases would find them a radically conceptually altered three piece with the inclusion of one of the greatest and most radical artists to …

Remnants From Paradise
Absurd
An amazing new CD by the german composer Werner Durand, whose drone style is characterized by its subtle, gradual alteration of pitch which leads one to loose a sense of "time" and draws one deeper and deeper into the sound itself. "The name Werner Durand might not be very well-known, which is a great pity. His claim to fame has nothing to do with his real music: he played flute on Muslimgauze' 'Mort Aux Vaches' release. But Durand's background is with improvisation and wind instruments. As far …

The art of buzzing (Excuse the delay vol.1)
X-TRACT
A terrific drone album here, on this first solo-release, Werner Durand presents six works all dealing with the buzzing phenomena. This phenomena is found in many musical cultures around the world as an integral part of the sound, eg. with chinese and korean flutes, ethiopian and basque string instruments and also the Indian tanpura. The results are stunning: dense drones with pulsing, buzzing, dizzying movements swarm with an intoxicating cadence. Recorded in multi-track, the sounds are sometime…
