URBAN SAX is the fruit of a long acoustic and architectural research that began in 1973... after "LARD FREE" (repetitive and experimental acoustic and synthetised forms of music). Over the years, from projects to projects, the band increased to its present form : saxophonists, chorus singers, percussionists, bass player and dancers.
URBAN SAX can be augmented by local participants from Dance and Music Schools. This has no limit ; the band has sometimes numbered 200 !
Whenever it’s possible, Gilbert Artman likes the band to be joined by some musicians issued from different musical horizons.
For example, the band was joined in Jakarta by Balinese dancers and Gamelan musicians, in Vancouver by some Native American Drummers and Scottich pipers, in Turkey by some Sufis, in Tokyo by some traditional Japanese drummers...
URBAN SAX has been invited all over the world to perform in events such as the inauguration of plazas, theatres, monuments... opened and closed countless festivals, played in differents places, (castles, caves, churches), “redefined” truly urban environments like subways, factories, electric power stations and has been asked to participate in numerous events...

Twentyone es el titulo del primer ep de Coushin para Audiovisual Theorem. Un ejercicio impecable de abstracción digital de veintiun minutos de duración. El 50% del duo de techno Agonyforces desarrolla en Coushin su vertiente musical más intima, la que discurre entre glitches y breaks por un paisaje sonoro lleno de emociones y texturas matemáticas. IDM melancólica y avant-techno milimétrico, ritmos robóticos y sensibilidad se dan la mano para configurar el imaginario musical de un alquimista de sonidos enigmáticos y melodias llenas de nostalgia.

Proving even what seems impossible, really is possible~ day dissolves into twilight bliss mind seeks slumber as spirit whispers for sweet release to float way on the silent breeze of twilight's kiss releasing the day as it floats into the nocturnal darkness of peaceful dreams as day dissolves ~debi~ ~May your weekend be full of the people, places and things that make your spirit smile~ Much love and light my sweet friend ~debi
I watched thee when the foe was at our side Ready to strike at him, or thee and me Were safety hopeless rather than divide Aught with one loved, save love and liberty. I watched thee in the breakers when the rock Received our prow and all was storm and fear And bade thee cling to me through every shock This arm would be thy bark or breast thy bier.
Did you know that November 6th was "Marooned Without a Compass Day"?
So there you are, not knowing which direction to take. All of us have been there.
Before you panic, take a moment to look at the beauty around you.
Ahem!!! I said, look at the beauty around you. That's right! Try to find the beauty in every situation.
We're all in this together.
You'll even find celebrities in the same boat.
Perhaps I can lend a hand. Here use my compass. There's always challenges finding your way through life. Sometimes all you need to do is put your trust in the universe and let it guide you.
One step at a time. Let's try getting through the weekend. Have an excellent one!!!
