Sebastién Branche
Sebastién Branche presents his new solo project Lignes de niveaux (English: Level Sets).
It is an extension of his tenor saxophone solo work, which this time is transformed into an electroacoustic and immersive experience through the use of the programming language SuperCollider and Ambisonics 3D sound technology. Branche employs his characteristic design elements: long saxophone tones, multiphonics, and breath are multiplied through the use of electronics, sampling, movement, and spatial modulation. The vibrant sound mass surrounds the listeners and invites them to immerse themselves.
The musician and composer Sebastién Branche lives in Leipzig. He describes himself as a “sound crafter” exploring the endless possibilities of the saxophone, expanding it with various objects or the computer. In addition to his artistic work in various projects, he organizes concerts for experimental music and founded the initiative LeipziXP e.V. to bring together the local scene and promote exchange.
