Bio / Background
Jorrit Dijkstra- alto saxophone, lyricon, analog electronics
>loops beeps blips lirps bloops lurps burps leaps bups lips bips blirps lisps<
In his solo project saxophonist Jorrit Dijkstra processes his saxophone sounds with electronic devices to create live improvised counterpoint studies and soundscapes. With a loop machine and a delay he layers rhythms, melodies and sounds into drones, beats, chords, polyrhythms and sometimes chaos. A ring modulator, a modular synthesizer and a pitch shifter are used to pull his already broad spectrum of saxophone sounds into extremes. Besides the alto sax he uses the Lyricon, the first analog electronic wind instrument from the seventies. Because all the sampling and processing occurs live, the listener is witness of a highly improvised event, where the electronics behave like another player. Jorrit’s background in jazz and improvised music makes the balance between the processed sounds and his clear and lyrical saxophone playing even stronger.
