Esa Pietilä, solo saxophone 

In year 2007 Esa Pietilä started a series of totally improvised solo saxophone concerts, which have so far appeared at several art galleries, concert venues and churches etc.

Pietilä’s solo saxophone expression is heavily influenced by visual arts and poetry, which gives Esa the platforms to shape up the long structures and forms of his improvisations. With his “inner dialogue musical thinking” of improvisation, he combines his fantasy world together with the “real world” and expresses his textures and drama with strong urge to shape his free-form improvisational accordingly.
