All the sounds in Cheap Sax were originally produced by David
Demsey. Ted Clancy and I recorded David playing various simple scales and
patterns on the tenor saxophone and these recordings became the basis of
an electroacoustic composition. Although the music is often densely
contrapuntal I changed the underlying sounds very little, adjusting only
the attack and decay times of some of the notes. This approach made it
easier to dramatize the question of what was the sound of the saxophone,
and what became the sound of the computer.
