Drift from Drift by Rosalind Hall
Drift is inspired by listening states when free falling in and out of sleep or consciousness and is designed as a piece that exists in the ether, with no real beginning or end.
Drift was made using only saxophone, recorded with a spring reverb attachment in resonant spaces to deepen the live reverberation. The piece plays with the beating caused by close tones and unusual tunings as well as pitch shifting and the reshaping of the attack and release to transform the saxophone tones into blurred, bell-like impressions.
