HEYDEN, CATHY Badlands

Description

Imagined while crossing the great american plains, 'Badlands' is the first solo album by saxophonist Cathy Heyden. Each side of the record reveals a different facet of the (the devil's) instrument and of the (accomplished) instrumentist. 'Coyotes' pulls out of studio recording the tour de force of a radical evocation of the wild and nocturnal immensity of the desert ; while 'Soda Lake' meticulously explores unexpected patterns and matters.

While expanding the possibilities of the solo instrument (one might think of Michel Donéda, Stéphane Rives, Nmpereign...), the sonic exploration and soundscape-like approach of 'Badlands' finds a natural way to the catalog of Universinternational.

Co-released with 213 Records
