The homonymous debut of Lawsuit It will include seven compositions that will fly and mutate free for different styles. “Put is acoustic, it has folk, root things, pop, some jazz because there is a pair of totally improvised solos and some experimental music because it takes the saxophone to a less conventional terrain at harmonic level”he says.
The foundations of the project are in arpegios and circular respiration, a technique that uses “To be playing the saxo all the time, as if it were the arpegging of a keyboard or a synthesizer that can be playing without stopping to breathe. A great inspiration to work this technique has been the Canadian saxophonist Colin Stetson”he explains.

The artist does not assume traditional Canarian music as an influence, but as a guide on which to draw her songs. “I started imagining things on the arpegios of the saxo, the first thing was the voice, whose contrast I liked because I like to write lyrics. Then came the percussion, very minimalist, and for that I took advantage of the Canarian heritage. My mother had a blacksmith drum at home and a colleague taught me to play the gaps; I thought it was perfect for what I was looking for. The blacksmith drum Lapas el Charles. ”
“It is being a very nice trip,” The saxophonist assures, for whom the support of Malpaís Records “It has been something incredible, which starts from absolute trust. You make music yourself, without the opinion of someone living the project from within, and having absolute confidence from the seal motivates a lot.”

To do this, it already has several dates in the calendar with which to roll the album: the October 25 at the Keroxen Festival (Tenerife), the November 7 at the Recomer (Lanzarote) and 15 November in the Site room (Gran Canaria).
