Johns Lunds
Danish saxophone player Johns Lunds pushes circular breathing and minimalism towards new territories. He reinterprets minimalist masterpieces in a dadaesk way, for instance by cutting out notes out of Henning Christiansen pieces and using them as source for visual and literally spiralling scores. The highly recommended LP 'Johns Lunds plays baritone saxophone' is in an immersive take on the 2nd generation of minimalist music, played with the intensity of Joe McPhee, and one of our highlights of 2016. Some facts: Lunds is part of the yoyo oyoy collective and worked together with a.o. Mats Gustafson. We had a conversation with the brutalist saxophone player over Skype, about craftsmanship, history and physicality.
