#lockthesaxdown

A social media challenge series created in response to the pandemic of 2020

A series which started with an aim to help motivate other Saxophonists while all performances and chamber music-making had come to a halt.

We reimagined my pre-existing repertoire with multi-layered backing tracks and made them freely available to download, with a weekly demo performed by Emma.

The project became hugely popular on a global scale and the response from all participants was inspiring.

This disc is a seamless blend of selected #lockthesaxdown works alongside a more expansive, explorative and creative style of collaborative writing.

We aimed to create music outside the box of classical saxophone,

whilst respecting the legacy of our instrument.
