Oleg Raskin

Oleg Raskin is a saxophonist, composer and educator whose work spans instrumental performance, music teaching and the development of new performance technologies. He has also been involved in the EMEO digital saxophone project, which explores how electronic systems can extend a saxophonist's expressive possibilities.

His appearance in Creative Sources documents the acoustic saxophone within experimental ensemble music. The saxophone's range of breath, articulated tone and extended sound techniques provides a varied vocabulary for spontaneous musical interaction. Alongside conventional instrumental performance, Raskin's interests in technology and education reflect a broader engagement with the development of musical practice.
