Georges Paul – Saxophones
Georges Paul’s music is defined by an explosive deconstruction of sonic material, where sound is approached as both a physical phenomenon and a topos of critical inquiry situated between transformation and immanence. His work sublates pseudo-dipoles such as composition/improvisation, noise/pitch, acoustic/electronic, destabilizing the binary logic systems that continue to dominate musical discourse.
His music resists resolution, favoring states of tension, collapse, and suspension. Sounds are pulled apart, reconfigured, or deliberately left unresolved, allowing contradiction to traverse and animate the sonic field. Employing extended techniques, fractured timbres, and spectral densities as structural force, Paul creates a volatile and constantly shifting aural field.
Embracing unpredictability and excess, Paul’s practice evokes a dialectic of disruption in which every sonic gesture interrogates its own becoming. His music refuses simple narration; it operates in interstitial zones where volume, pitch, and duration emerge as relational and fluid. Paul’s performances unfold as abstract topographies of listening – non-linear, tactile, and charged with eruptive intensity.
