Colin Stetson – New History Warfare Vol. 3 To See More Light (2013)

"Stetson is a master of overblowing and multiphonics, which he has finessed to the point where his circular breathing has allowed him to play what sound like several other entirely distinct lines of song. Others frequently achieve this by live sampling and looping, but Stetson insists he doesn't use such techniques, which makes for an extraordinary aural illusionism… The 15 minute 'To See More Light' contains Stetson's most confounding sleight of hand, as he layers up gasping, phlegmatic fanfares over Nautilus-spiralling notes, then produces the real-time effect of slurred tape speed. On 'Hunted' and 'Brute', though, he pushes overblowing into realms previously only accessible with a fuzz pedal, finding timbres in the saxophone's tubing that are rarely brought out. This gives Stetson's sweeter melodies a bitter, eyewatering sting."
