SPRING 2019 LIVE DATES

Montréal-based saxophonist and experimental composer Jason Sharp spent the past year touring in support of his widely celebrated 2018 album Stand Above The Streams, and we’re excited to announce that he’ll be returning to Europe and the UK this spring for a new series of tour dates. Sharp will accompanied by sound artist and frequent collaborator Adam Basanta for all dates. Weaving layers of saxophone, amplified breath and heartbeat connected to an array of electronic treatments, rhythmic triggers and controlled feedback, Sharp and Basanta’s live shows have been lauded for their visceral immediacy and richly textured sonic detail. Experience their unparalleled, groundbreaking performance live at the following dates:

Following the February release of Stand Above The Streams, his sophomore full-length album for Constellation, saxophonist and experimental composer Jason Sharp has worked up a truly breathtaking live interpretation of his studio-based work, alongside Montreal-based sound artist Adam Basanta. The pair will bring this riveting electro-acoustic performance to audiences in France as well as Ljubljana’s Sonica Festival this fall.

Jason and Adam deftly conduct a dense interplay of saxophone, amplified breath and heartbeat connected to an array of electronic treatments, rhythmic triggers and controlled feedback, drawing the listener into a riveting sonic landscape where thickets of granular sonic detail and transcendent waves of refracted melody overtake one another by turns. These rare shows are not to be missed.
