Visit Reflection #1: Otis Sandsjö

While I can’t recall the last time I heard a saxophone by itself, I was not expecting the saxophone to sound the way it did when Otis played it. There were so many different types of sounds .

Everything kinda made more sense when he mentioned he was trying to integrate aspects of electronic music in his sax playing. I was also wondering if the occasional air blowing sounds were occasional or if he just messed up because he was trying to play it quietly. 

I wasn’t sure how to feel about the track he showed from his new album Y-OTIS TRE though. I can’t honestly say I liked it but I was interested in why it felt like there was a lot of secondary noise, like the recording wasn’t very crisp. I assume that’s intentional but personally I don’t enjoy that vibe.
