Program Note (written by Katarina Miljkovic):
Crescent is a piece of slow motion, and introspective elaboration on a spectrum of saxophone multiphonics. The underlying time-grid, based on a breathing pattern, intrinsic to the performer, unfolds through six distinct movements. In each movement, the sound bends through a gradient of intensity levels, recalling the fluctuation of light. The overarching process leads a listener from the fragility of breathing and barely perceptible sounds to the full strength of saxophone multiphonics. The peace and bodies, the metamorphosis from the fragile to the vivid, rooted in the fundamental act of breathing.
