The Mirror Unit

Two prepared alto saxophones · saxophone duo

The Mirror Unit is a duo of alto saxophonists Georg Wissel and Tim O’Dwyer. Both musicians use preparations and extended techniques to push their instruments beyond conventional saxophone phrasing.

Wind Makes Weather (CS311), recorded in Lisbon in January 2015, places Wissel in the left channel and O’Dwyer in the right, emphasising the exchange and spatial relationship between two closely related sound sources.
