the alto sax
· … needs a body to sound, or another machine that blows, with lips, teeth, tongue, fingers, a diaphragm, … or assimilated
· ⁠finds unstable regimes for it by bending my gesture away from the sounds: what remains is the result.
· ⁠to think that with it, my little finger is at least as important as my soles on the ground and much more important than my eyes (the latter, then, are of little or no use to me).
· ⁠to see in the form of a tune, the labyrinth within (it), the column of air snaking through the problems posed by a wrong finger.
· ⁠… take it as a tool: a machine (looking at me through it and all those who made it possible).
·⁠ ⁠… and experience an alliance with it; this machine.
·⁠ ⁠… to make this alliance in music as one says that a door is made of wood.
·⁠ ⁠try to contradict the trumpets, or else blow none of them.
·⁠ ⁠to follow in the footsteps of those who have played it and betray them so that loyalty can be strengthened and experienced
· column of air / wandering lines to describe the human-assisted roaming of a machine whose voids work as a whole.
· ⁠take the tube and the bell as amplifiers of the necessarily unique layout and detail of these lines.
·⁠ ⁠and let virtuosity be a villainy with this play that the playful despises, and worse if it falls.
·⁠ ⁠to make it, the instrument, take the blame, to free all the more the ear’s inclinations from their dictates.
· ⁠it was invented.
·⁠ ⁠invent music for it in return.
·⁠ ⁠always remember that when it falls, its fall does not sound like a saxophone. If it happened to fall, it makes the muffled sound of a ductile metal sheet, or of a bad hardware shop: its body is not sonorous —in which it is a machine.
·⁠ ⁠virtually, see by playing it the 3 dimensions of the metamorphoses of the air column, under the influence of the action.
·⁠ ⁠an unstable regime once grasped, maintain it by going with the wave: foam lines to be cleared with the hand, the 10 fingers, the breath, the teeth, and the tongue (the organ): ridge lines to follow.
· ⁠by whom sounds what? through what sounds who? person/per-sonare or this mask which carries in my place a voice that does not belong to me… nor to it.
