Jason Sharp

Saturday, 30 March
The Grey Space

A mainstay of Montreal’s jazz and improv scenes, Jason Sharp is a celebrated saxophonist and experimental composer whose solo works for the iconic Constellation Records reveal a unique fusion of technology and the human body. Known for his creative and musical use of extended technique, Sharp combines the deep, droning sounds of his baritone and bass saxophones with customised electronics that translate his heartbeat and breathing into an array of analogue drums, sine waves, feedback and synthesisers in real time. The result is a staggering expanse of electroacoustic sound that blurs the lines between the organic and the electronic.
