LIQUEN RECORDS

Soprano Saxophone Solos (Liquen Records, 2021_LRCD017) is a sonorous discharge, an account of Josep Lluís Galiana with his soprano. An inseparable companion of this Spanish musician for almost three decades, the soprano is an instrument with unattainable timbral possibilities and an impressive range of colors and textures. Its sonorous sources are inexhaustible and in these seventeen improvisations Josep Lluís Galiana searches without limits for new timbral places, deepens in the sounds and discovers unpublished sonorous landscapes.

Interaccions sonores is an extended work of 55 minutes, for Barytone/ Soprano Saxophone and pre-recorded sounds with electronic elaboration. It is the fruit of an intense collaboration between the two Spanish musicians Josep Lluís Galiana (saxophonist, improviser and writer) and Joan Gómez Alemany (composer). This studio recording presents the final stage of a complex process of work and collaboration, where composition and improvisation complement each other and create a particular point of convergence. The originality and the richness of relationships that are created within it, depend on the work process that made it possible.

TENOR SAXOPHONE SOLOS
Josep Lluís Galiana, spanish saxophonist, improviser and writer valencian, publishes his first solo album in LIQUEN RECORDS. «His music knows no borders of any kind. Galiana´s rich musical expression combines disparate aesthetics without persisting in a limited orthodox thinking. He keeps a constant interest of listeners by a continuous updating of their expectations. This enormous variety and some other interesting characteristics make this record a noble and audacious project. Worthy of being heard, without any doubt! «
