Zygote

Zygote

Soprano Saxophone

Composer's Note:

Zygote (1993) is a exploration in sound for the saxophone. It utilizes a non-traditional scale, "fingered" multiphonics (as opposed to singing and playing the instrument at the same time), and key slaps. The duality of the material, slow/fast, loud/soft, high/low, single pitch/multiphonic, and their separation/integration is the primary compositional foci. Though the score indicates the work is free, there should be obvious metric emphases. Shortly after starting work on this composition the composer found out his wife was expecting their first child.
