Summary of This Collection

OpenSax is aimed at all saxophonists curious to explore new directions without losing connection to current creation. Initiated by Claude Georgel (director of the Vent de Sax collection) on the occasion of the 17th World Saxophone Congress and Festival (July 2015), this collection brings together nine pieces entrusted to composers from very different backgrounds, with a clear intention: to offer a diversity of artistic and technical universes, guided by the joy of playing. The exploration is immediate and concrete: John Harle weaves, with "Yantra," an almost magical relationship between the soloist and sound design; Sophie Lacaze invites the young performer to become an oriental storyteller in "La Lune dans l'Eau"; Vincent-Raphaël Carinola immerses the instrumentalist in the dreamlike mechanics of "Montre Molle." Groove enthusiasts will appreciate the jazz echo in Claude Barthélémy's "Sonny's Groove," while Claude Georgel, with "Du Tac au Tac!," stages a witty world carried by very free rubato. On the delicate side, Annette Mengel's "Vol au Vent" evokes the fragility of a haiku, and Clara Olivares transforms "L'Envol" into an anthem to interpretative freedom, notably around vibrato colors. Finally, electroacoustics becomes a full partner in "Gamophone" (Philippe Geiss) and "Main gauche, Main droite et Clac" (Xavier Rosselle), to work on placement, listening, and the impact of musical gesture. Throughout these nine stages, the saxophonist develops expressivity, sense of style, and sonic imagination, while consolidating essential technical foundations.
