'Behind e-SaxBow is Florent Colautti on e-string and François Wong on electrified baritone saxophone. I have no idea what an electrified baritone saxophone is, but in none of this one can easily recognize the horn or anything with a string that is supposed to be the e-string. The latter is played using electromagnetic bows, which he pilots from his computer. The saxophone is also transformed by computer means and thus the five pieces, which last thirty minutes in total, sound like nothing even close to improvised music. These pieces are drone like, have a bit of noise in 'Ou l'onde Plonge' and rhythm and noise in 'Immergee'. At times rooted in the world of Merzbow, Pan Sonic but also in that of isolationist drones. Quite diverse and judging by the brief character of this release, I'd say there is more to explore for them in future releases'. (FdW in Vital 987)
