Reedist and mutli-instrumentalist Udo Schindler's first instrument was a soprano sax, and this solo concert at Atelier Ekkelancj Götze in Munich in 2018 brings to the foreground his 40 years of experience, advanced technique, and creative approach to this capricious and demanding instrument, performing a 2-part free-form "PNEUMA-Sax+Erde" and an encore.

Recorded live at Atelier Gotze in Munich, Germany, on April 27th, 2018, by Udo Schindler.
"During the last years I played many concerts with musicans of diverse genres - ranging from experimental to Jazz and non-European music - and I also added several brass instruments (euphonium, tuba and cornet) to my woodwind arsenal. This is why solo playing became less of a priority. However the intense work on sound research and extended playing techniques continued, noise and microtonal textures were perfected, even inspiring some composers of New Music in their strategies. Exciting and rare musical statements of various approaches with pairings of wind instruments were highly acclaimed by international critics, for instance Parnassta Palustris with FP Schubert & US on soprano saxophones, Answer & Maybe a Question with Ove Volquartz & US on bass & contrabass clarinets, as well as wind duets with Marco von Oreill, Frank Gratkowski a.o., documented on labeis in GB,Portugal and Switzerland. In the fall of 2018 Confront Records (GB) will release a solo CD tor contrabass clarinet.
The soprano saxophone, a notoriously capricious and unruly instrument, and particularly demanding in the execution of extended techniques, was my first wind instrument and has been my companion for 40 years. The symbiotic existence with my coequal Selmer Mark VI presents an additional challenge, since the instrument, with its handicaps and restricted playing comfort is anything but state of the art. Within the context ofthe Atelier I will showcase selected, EARTHed options ofthe instrument's cosmos. The concert is a non-idiomatic affirmation off sound, of the heart of sound as Giacinto Scelsi called it, free of listening conventions, for a perceptive and unprejudiced audience expecting the unexpected."-Udo Schindler
