Details:
hi i''m matt and thanks for visiting with me...
i am a solo saxophonist living in cincinnati, ohio.
some people have asked, "why do you play solo rather than play in a band?" and the reason is that in playing alone, the beauty, simplicity, and freedom are just too good to pass up.
i do however play in two duo groups. i am the second half of the ambient duo "barnett / baumann" with guitarist eric barnett and the other member of "upaj" with tabla master jim feist.
while difficult to categorize, the music I play is more or less an ambient, open, and free kind of music that relies heavily on longer tones and folk-like melodies. in addition to an open sound, i do sometimes use more modern saxophone techniques like key clicks, breath effects, and multiphonics to help create more distance and echoes in the music.
i am heavily influenced by places of desolation, deserts, sky, emptiness, and the great open spaces (both that i''ve seen and those i long to see).
i have released three albums to date, "drifter", "deserter", and the debut record with guitarist eric barnett titled "beauty bent, not broken". my third solo record "an island" is slated for release on reverb worship records sometime later this year, my fourth solo album and my first "traditional" album "grounded" was just released (cause you''re viewing it right now), while my fifth record, a live album "last days on the lawn", will be a very inexpensive release and will be out very soon... please check my website for ordering info.
