“Colin Stetson is a well-known avant-garde saxophonist, who willingly and very skillfully can switch to other wind instruments and is also known for his ability to join popular music performers and groups. He has collaborated with musicians of various deviations – Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Bon Iver, Tomu Veitsu (Tom Waits) and David Gilmour (David Gilmour) on his latest album Rattle That Lock.”
This is what Ilmar Šlāpin wrote in a review of a post several years ago. The list can be continued. The musician has also collaborated with Lou Reed (Lou Reed), LCD Soundsystem, The National, Chemical BrothersBill Lasswell (Bill Laswell) and more and more. True, this is not why, according to many, he is one of the brightest brass players and innovators of the saxophone game of the last decades, but on the contrary. Musicians, choreographers, filmmakers and others line up on Colin Stetson’s front porch, inviting them to participate in the realization of their ideas, thanks to his talent, work ability and relationship with his instrument and music in general. “I use music in the same way as others use vitamins or medicine,” in a conversation with Dāvi ĆeĆeli four years ago Latvian Radio 3 Klasika the musician himself said on the air.
Although many listeners and concertgoers have been dazzled by Colin Stetson, first of all, with his convincing bass and alto saxophone playing, reminiscent of strength and endurance training, he also has soprano, tenor and baritone instruments in his arsenal. It’s not a lie – Colin has been involved in martial arts for many years, which he calls the “insane physical tests” imposed on him and thanks them, commenting on his playing style for the curious. And yes, liking groups is no less important than always being in great physical shape Pixies and Fugazi.
A period of rehearsing and researching the instrument, in which Colin Stetson began to make permanent music in a trio. Transmissionsettled in San Francisco, but here again in Brooklyn six years later, and started the aforementioned collaborations with others, really erupted with the 2007 album New History Warfare Vol. 1. This coincided with his Montreal period – making music with Arcade Fire, romantic and artistic relationship with the violinist Sara Neufeld (Sarah Neufeld)with which the wonderful album was also recorded Never Were The Way She Was, and work on the idea of reimagining, or interpreting in an unusual ensemble of musicians, the Polish composer Henrika Gurecki (Henryk Mikołaj Górecki) The third or symphony of pain.
Having completed the trilogy of “modern warfare” with two more volumes, in 2017 Colin Stetson released an album with the bitterly self-deprecating title All This I Do For Glory – a record that further strengthened the musician’s reputation among ever wider circles of listeners and critics, bringing various nominations and ranking it in many Best of… in the lists at the end of the respective year. Around this time, the demand for Colin Stetson’s services as a composer for film music also began to spread, also in Hollywood. Latvian viewers and users of various popular film and series streaming platforms are also familiar with, for example, tapes Reincarnation (Hereditary, 2018. g.) will Menu (The Menu2022. g.), will Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2022), whose soundtracks are authored by the musician. As the well-known British air personality Mary Anne Hobbs once stated succinctly and, upon reflection, accurately! (Marie Anne Hobbs), “Colin Stetson is an artist who is changing the way you relate to and perceive music”. Point.
