The Italian sax quartet, Furano, have been collaborating with us for a couple of years, on putting together a quintet programme with quarter-tone trumpet.
There are currently pieces for quarter-tone trumpet and sax quartet by Daniele Bravi, Vasiliki Kourti-Papamoustou (based on Donald Bousted’s Microtonal Studies)and Alberto Napolitano. In addition there is a graphic score piece by Stephen Altoft for sax quartet.
Last year Stephen travelled to Foggia, Italy to make a recording and a video demo of La Fragilità del Riflesso by Daniele Bravi.
