Matthew Cha's 'Technojazz' Release Party with Ultrabillions

Modular virtuoso (and great friend of BOOM) Matthew Cha presents Technojazz, a live, semi-improvised suite composed for Buchla 200 and alto saxophone, with the recording captured in one take with no overdubbing.

From the man himself: “This recording is a recognition of the fraternal connection between these two instruments, as well as their advanced capacities for high-resolution, phenomenological expression. I struggled to capture the genuine musical aliveness of the interactions between Buchla and saxophone with entirely through-composed pieces, and instead decided the best outcome was to capture these performed, reactive musical gestures in the moment of their natural curiosity, and present this as the album.”

Seeing Matthew play is like watching a prestigious scientist play with exploding powders and color-changing smoke: lively and fun, yet precise and controlled.

Kindred spirit and frequent live collaborator Ultrabillions plays in support.
