ELECTRONIC MUSIC

Tout Bas is all about the discovering of the Tubax, the contrabass saxophone developed by Benedikt Eppelsheim in 1999.

This piece explores the different registers, special techniques and expressivity of this wonderful and sonorous instrument through a concertando form; the ensemble and live electronics dress the Tubax up as a timbrical extension. Bass instruments from different families wrap around the Tubax sound with the exception of tenor an soprano saxophones who act as his natural register extension.

His potential unfolds throughout the piece and demands high technical and expressive skills.
