The music on Mutable is a totally acoustic sonic exploration. It is an investigation that has led to the development of certain extended techniques in order to discover the ultimate limits of the sound of the saxophone and to try to create new sounds on the instrument.
by Maciej Lewenstein :
There have not been many True innovators and inventors of the contemporary saxophone sound in free jazz and free improvisation. Of course, The Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost: John Coltrane, Pharaoh Sanders and Albert Ayler revolutionized tenor, while Steve Lacy soprano. On the European scene Peter Brötzmann and Evan Parker were undisputable Giants of the New Sound on tenor, soprano and more
exotic instruments, like tarogato. In recent decades, Europe is particularly fertile ground for new sound inventors in free improvised music. And amoung them, the absolute outstanding sound innovator is Don Malfon, a.k.a. Alfonso Muñoz, who specializes in baritone and alto.
The title is “Mutable” because the essence of the art of Don is mutating. He does not use electronic transformations and sound deformations. No, Don uses various object to change and/or transform in a very specific way his saxophone sound, and generate “fake sounds” as I call them, or “alternative” sounds as Barry Guy calls them. The saxophone may sound in such instances as a string instrument, as percussion, as live electronics, or as another, completely different wind instrument, like trumpet.
“Mutable” is a Masterpiece of contemporary saxophone.
