Jonas Braasch

'Sonic Territories is 12 works for 12 distinct acoustic spaces. Composer -performer Jonas Braasch utilizes soprano saxophone, field recordings, and electronic processing. Sonic Territories investigates the creative potential that various acoustic environments can unleash. Opposed to the current ideal of quiet recording studios that do not distract the performer from inner thoughts, I was looking for spaces that inspire and mess around with me, by influencing and guiding my performance. A number of the recorded spaces, I only encountered once to capture my initial impression. Other spaces I have fought with until I found something that sounded better in this space than anywhere else in its own right'.
