Performing on saxophones and cymbal, the debut album from NY-based Canadian-American composer, saxophonist, and performance artist Erin Rogers uses multiphonics, vocalization, circular breathing, and inciting of outer resonance to add layers of complexity to her gripping improvisations, which she describes as "No electronics, no bandmates, no composers... just me + dark room + 2 saxophones".
"A debut solo album from saxophonist Erin Rogers, Dawntreader invites the listener on a wave-breaking journey, weaving lyrical stories with an unconventional voice.
Expressive, freely improvised, and acoustic, Dawntreader comprises three distinct works, each of which explores and develops a singular idea over time. Featuring soprano and tenor saxophones, and with extensive use of harmonics, multiphonics, vocalization, dynamics, and the inciting of outer resonance, Rogers builds plural lines and textures through the instrument, shaping, breaking, expanding and contracting the undressed tone."-Relative Pitch
