ARTIST STATEMENT:

This recording captures a solo bass saxophone performance in the Gates of Heaven, a small synagogue in Madison, Wisconsin. After an exhaustive recording process elsewhere I visited the synagogue en route to the airport to quickly record a solo piece. The engineer and I had only a couple of hours to capture something before catching our flight home to Montreal. Microphones were set up at varying distances throughout the synagogue and I improvised a solo piece using the acoustics of the space. We had just enough time to record what became an 18 minute multi-tracked piece. Every layer was a first take and a response to the previous. It began to rain heavily towards the end of our session audibly rattling the synagogue, we tore down the mics, and hurried to the airport. Taking this fleeting moment for myself to play in this beautiful resonant space was both nourishing and revitalizing. I returned to this recording when the pandemic hit in mid-march as a way to focus my attention on something positive and future driven. Listening back to this acoustic document during this unprecedented time I once again felt the support this space had provided and was reminded of the fragility that improvised music can often reveal and the strength it can restore. – Jason Sharp
