What Are You Listening To?

But nature abhors it! Haha, I respect that, it's definitely not for everybody. It's more about technique and texture than anything, and it can sound like a group of whales at times. I was first exposed to it when I saw a video of it and it blew me away. Here it is:

And here's a video where he breaks down what he's doing in the piece, I think it's pretty interesting. You at least have to give him credit for bringing together jazz and ambience with some skill:

But yeah, it can be a bit lugubrious at times. I've an infatuation with bass and baritone saxophones and avant-garde jazz, so I'm sure that my bias is showing here a little bit.

Had a look at these clips. From a purely technical point of view it's quite interesting but I still don't like the end product - I could not listen to this for any length of time but thx for the info anyway. Now if he had to blend that with something more conventional I might be interested.
