Album Description

Electric Empath is a long form improvisational piece for alto saxophone and electronics. I recorded this on December 8, 2024 using one take for the electronics, followed by one take for the alto saxophone. For the electronic portion, I used three analog synthesizers simultaneously – Korg Volca Keys, Arturia MiniBrute, and SOMA Laboratory Lyra-8. The Volca Keys and the MiniBrute were both fed through the Lyra-8 so that the Lyra-8’s onboard effects would be applied to all three signals. The piece has three distinct sections: Section 1: 00:00 – 17:00. Builds to high tumult; frightening (natural minor / aeolian scale). Section 2: 17:00 – 31:48. Calm and mournful (harmonic minor scale). Section 3: 31:48 – 41:56. Builds to medium tumult; hopeful (dominant 7th / mixolydian scale).
