Experimental solo project

Pauli Lyytinen Machinery consists of eight solo saxophone performances involving effects played through vintage guitar amps.  While the application of electronic effects to acoustic instruments can seem superfluous at best, Lyytinen’s compositions never lose sight of the saxophone itself.

Highlights include Return of the Mosquito, which recreates the maddening sounds of swarming mosquitos in an oddly compelling fashion, and Machinery, whose layered loops and live playing result in a twitching metallic funk.
