about

This is a new track (composed and recorded yesterday - 7th August 2020) featuring the Cylisax with drums from 'DrumJam' and double bass played with my WX5 wind controller. I am playing and multitracking a Mk9 Budgeroo Cylisax.

The Cylisax sounds like a mellow soprano sax and has a 2 octave range from middle C to d' and is fully chromatic using cross fingering (similar to recorder fingering). I have been working on this instrument since mid 2017 in materials ranging from wood to irrigation polypipe, paper and aluminium. It has a cylindrical bore (hence the name 'Cylisax') but behaves as though it has a conical bore due to the branch tube just below the soprano sax mouthpiece. This branch tube concept was developed by Yamaha with their 'Venova' wind instrument. Because of this the Cylisax can overblow an octave like a sax rather than an octave and a fifth like the clarinet. I have developed the instrument further using a wall thickness that allows cross fingering a chromatic scale and also improving the sound with developing a bell for the branch tube.
