URBAN SAX

URBAN SAX

Urban Sax, the avant-garde musical project from France, is like nothing you've ever seen or heard before. Led by the eccentric and enigmatic composer Gilbert Artman, Urban Sax combines elements of rock, jazz, classical, and world music to create a mind-bending sonic experience that is as bizarre as it is beautiful.

Founded in the late 1970s, Urban Sax quickly gained a cult following for their unforgettable live performances, which feature a large ensemble of saxophonists playing in unison, often while suspended from cranes or hanging from buildings. Yes, you read that right – this is not your average jazz concert.

Their music is a hypnotic blend of dissonant harmonies, complex rhythms, and otherworldly textures that will transport you to another dimension. Imagine if Sun Ra and Karlheinz Stockhausen had a love child raised by David Bowie and you might come close to capturing the essence of Urban Sax.

Over the years, Urban Sax has collaborated with a diverse array of artists, from Laurie Anderson to Peter Gabriel, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of music. Their fearless spirit of experimentation and refusal to conform to any traditional genre conventions make them true pioneers in the field of avant-garde music.

So if you're looking for something truly out of this world, look no further than Urban Sax. Just be prepared to have your mind blown – and maybe your eardrums too.
