Cello & Sax Duo Redefines Music: From Classical to Pop Fusion
11 Jun
Summary
- Duo blends classical training with experimental tones and pop.
- Their music is described as 'neo-classical-post-punk-anti-pop'.
- Debut EP 'ELEGY' explores memory, relief, and personal experiences.
KatzPascale, a cello-saxophone duo from New York, is forging a new path by merging classical training with unconventional sounds, drawing inspiration from film scores and pop music.
Formed two years ago after meeting as hired musicians, the duo bonded over diverse influences, from classical composer Olivier Messiaen to pop artist Addison Rae. They previously contributed to the Terrifier 3 soundtrack.
Their self-described genre, 'neo-classical-post-punk-anti-pop,' reflects an experimental and anti-institutional approach to chamber music. This is evident on their debut EP, ELEGY, released earlier this year.
ELEGY encapsulates the duo's life experiences, transforming memories and emotions into a pleasure-inducing and emotionally direct listening experience. The EP features dynamic instrumental interplay, with Pascale's cello providing sustained notes and Katzmann's saxophone offering intricate melodies.
