Long analog tape loops, carefully timed delays, controlled feedbacks, harmonic-creating instruments, effects… Ariel improvises with tenor, alto and soprano on strange sounding scales and patterns with circular breathing, crossing the lines between notes, always coming back to haunt and provoke, titillate and excite new neuron pathways… it gets better at each listen.

Review
Ariel Kalma is the kind of musician that collectors live their lives to find at the bottom of a dollar record bin, and the kind who fellow musicians hope to become. He is a composer who worked on the periphery of a fringe movement, whose early adherents have recently seen an explosion in popularity...

Review by Margot Anand,
author of 'The Art of Everyday Ecstasy'
What turns me on, about Tantric Sax, is that Ariel keeps a background drone-like sound, almost like a tampura, and embroiders harmonies on top of it, with his sexy sax sounds. The whole, the many sounds blend in a unique way that could be called 'a modern raga'.
It is deep, like a call to the soul, it invades you like a longing for the beyond... it travels you from the root of your being to the crown and beyond.
Enjoy the fullness and the richness of these amazing sax calls!

Tantric Sax - 26:25
Tantric because resonant with the other playful, unattached but attentive, ever changing feel of elevation, unexplained joy, taking risk but listening, unafraid of mistakes because the time to correct them constantly shortens.
Sax because primordial forces with Heart Intention create Life.
Mixed and mastered by Ariel Kalma
