Linguistically, there is a subtle difference between someone playing a musical instrument

and someone playing with a musical instrument.

The performance explores and develops vibrations, sounds and noises produced by the

saxophone body: Vibrations of the metal, sounds of the key mechanism and air currents –

part of the agency of an object, its materiality and form. The sound is not the

interpretation of a musical idea, it arises from a physical bodily improvisation that

connects player and saxophone.
