Andrew J Brooks‘ latest single, Kernel, is a captivating exploration of experimental sound, pushing the boundaries of solo saxophone performance. Blending raw tenor sax with synth loops and effects pedals, Brooks creates an immersive sonic landscape that’s both intimate and expansive. The track, born from his live performances, especially a notable one at Sneaky Pete’s, reflects his evolution as a musician influenced by post punk, no wave, avant-garde and ambient soundscapes. Kernel resonates with the experimental spirit of artists like Nils Frahm and Colin Stetson, offering a hypnotic, multilayered experience that’s as haunting as it is innovative.
