Jonas Engel’s solo work is a testament to his innovative spirit. By creating acoustic noise and
sonority on wind instruments influenced by electronic sounds, he explores multi-layered textures
using air, harmonics, saliva, and microtones - displaying an inner body sound that makes its way
to the surface. To produce sound he uses reeds leading into various tubes and instruments, such
as soft-PVC hoses, saxophones, or ABS plastic trumpets, often culminating in objects or
electronic live processing.
