julean simon - breath-controler (wx5, vl70m, vl1m)

dedicated to live-performed, free-improvised, electronic music, which is to say, that no pre-produced musical material is used and no material is added or modified musically in post-production.

a "breath-controler" is an electronic instrument with saxophone-type key-fingering. the keys do not alter the air-column, but trigger sensors. the instrument has a sax-like mouthpiece with a lip-pressure sensor and a wind-gain sensor. the sensors send midi-data to a synthesizer, which actually produces the sound. the yamaha vl1-m synthesizer generates sound by algorithms called "physical modelling" which calculates a sound on the basis of the physical properties of a wind- or string-instrument. as a former saxophonist simon achieves equivalent musical subtlety and complexity, physical-tonal response and exacting instrument handling with the breath-controler, although it took some time to fransfer his playing technique to this instrument and to dive into the complexity of physical modelling voice-programming.
