Joshua Jaswon Octet share ‘Swirl and Gather’ from new album Polar WatersBritish saxophonist, composer and arranger The Octet’s collective sound is a part of its natural evolution and has developed through extended time living with and performing the music. Rather than writing for ‘voice and ensemble’ Jaswon has drawn out the distinct musical personalities of each musician and explored the fluidity of roles, sound colours and textural combinations in the group. “As I started writing new music for the Octet, I wanted the compositional method to somehow relate more strongly to creative processes and approaches that had been informed and influenced by science and the natural world,” explains Jaswon. “These early ideas led to encountering the Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities (TORCH) and the three SciencePoetry (SciPo) anthologies. SciPo explores the creative common ground between science and poetry and I was hugely interested in collaborating with some of these writers to create a new body of work that traversed the borders between poetry, science and music.” Edited by snobb - 01 Jun 2023 at 6:58am |
